Will, Here is a crazy test. from the system I'd ssh'd into, I ssh'd to a linux box where, the # ls command there has an option to display different types of files in different colors. That worked perfectly.
Term there was xterm and there was also the addtional env var of COLORTERM set to 1. By using # ssh -X, and then # ssh -X again I'm avoiding the termcap settings in the intermediate host though, aren't I ? For a test like that the middle man's problems are simply ignored. right ?
