I am running 4.0.
I want to change the default color scheme for ls.
The dircolors program is supposed to read teh file
/etc/DIR_COLORS and set the LS_COLORS environment
variable appropriately. Unfortunately it doesnt
seem to do that. Modifying my /etc/DIR_COLORS and
running dircolors on that file doesn't change the
behavior of ls -color. However if I execute
LS_COLORS='di=36';export LS_COLORS
by hand, I get the desired change (directories
in cyan). Is this a bug in dircolors? Anyone got
a better solution than setting LS_COLORS by hand?
