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?

Part of the standard .bashrc includes /etc/bashrc and its standard definitions. One of them sets ls to be the color version, and I used to chase it down and remove it, only to have the next update of the file return it. I finally realized that putting this alias near the bottom of the file overrides anything done elsewhere, getting rid of it once and for all.
