you should instead edit your own userid's ~/.bashrc and add the following: export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' eval `dircolors` alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS' you can add that to /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc if you really want it to be a global setting, but keep in mind not all people like colorized ls, so i would leave it as a user option (put it in /etc/skel/.bashrc as an example for new users if you like) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
