My F14 Linux box is getting repaired so I can't test ... what is this alias changing about 'ls'? I don't remember seeing any factory-setting .bashrc that has ls aliased to ls with some options?
It's been standard since RedHat 5.something, at least.
It is in your .bashrc if you make a stock install and don't copy in a fixed .bashrc.

So factory setting .bashrc does have it aliased to something? What is it?
To be honest I forget whether it is "alias ls="ls --color"" or "alias ls="ls --color=auto"". I suspect it's the former, at least for root. This is one of the first things I doctor with things like: alias dir="ls -lrt --color=auto" alias ls="ls --color=auto" alias la="ls --color=auto -a" alias ll="ls -l --color=auto" alias lla="ls -l --color=auto -A" alias lss="ls"
and so forth.
It seems to be setup in the first account you make. Subsequent accounts seem to be pretty barren for their .bashrc. Check (ls -a) the files in /etc/skel for what gets put in for most new users. Now I am wondering where the colorized stuff comes from.
