ps question?

Hello all,

Can someone tell me how to change back my /bin/ps program to use 'ps
-ef' properly?
Im running redhat 6.2, and for most other machines I have, this is not
the same.  I have to use ps -aux to gather all process info.

[root@embpc19 /]# ps -ef
  PID TTY STAT  TIME COMMAND
  668   1 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty1 HOME=/ TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=linux AUTO
  669   2 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2 HOME=/ TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=linux AUTO
  670   3 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty3 HOME=/ TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=linux AUTO
  671   4 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4 HOME=/ TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=linux AUTO
  672   5 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5 HOME=/ TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=linux AUTO
  673   6 S    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6 HOME=/ TERM=linux

and somehow the correct output is accessible from the ps command 'ps
-aux'
[root@embpc19 /]# ps -aux
