+  ls will display these files with the -a option, which is set by
+default for root on many systems.

Some systems allow a -A option, which is not always documented.
The -A option is like -a, except that it doesn't list . & ..
(which is not interesting).  You may want to alias ls to "ls -A"
if you would like to see the dot files normally (like root does).
