To all:

I was able to fire up one of my backup machine (32 bit F14) and, via a ssh from cygwin, could see that a directory I had created under cygwin had protections of "drwxrwxrwx". It displayed as "black" on a mid-level green (aka totally unreadable). I ran "chmod go-w <theDir>" and then did another listing ... it was back to blue over black (and I gotta admit, the blue is too deep to really stand out). But blue is what I expect for a 'ls' (now that I know /etc/bashrc is redefining 'ls').

I am thinking that most of my issues are from cygwin files/dirs that don't have protections in the Microsoft world being mis-read under F14 and that the solution is a script to properly set protections when bringing a file/dir over from cygwin (?).

Can't wait to see how I got RGB red on black as that is the one I want to do the "silver bullet" on.

This has very little to do with alot of the conversation on this except to show that F14/bash/whatever is trying to display based on what it can find out about a file and if such is not set right, the visuals will suffer.
