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.

Many thanks ... especially since I am unable to do any legwork at the moment.
I am definitely going to make some changes when I get my machine back.
