There seems to be a subtle difference in what "dircolors" reports and what is present in the LS_COLORS env variable: 0 dennis@nexus ~ $ dircolors LS_COLORS='rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:..... 0 dennis@nexus ~ $ env|grep LS_COLORS LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=38;5;33:ln=38;5;51:mh=00:..... Notice how the entries in the dircolors" output have only two values but the entries in the env variable three values associated with them. Now I only need to figure out what exactly "di=01;34" vs. "di=38;5;33" means...
