Topic: color in telnet

[Booker Hinton]

Anyone know how to get the directories, files, etc. to show up in different colors in my telnet sessions?

For root:

pico ~/.bashrc
# Add the line:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'

login again & it should work fine

I've been unable to get this to work for other accoutns using E-Smith
yet...there's no .bashrc to modify & creating one in
/home/e-smith/files/ doesn't seem work...

Anyone else know how to fix this?

edit /etc/bashrc, and add the same line you mentioned.  I usually add -Fh as well.
