Where is this configured so I can change it? when you do: alias ls you'll see that ls is actually an alias of ls --color=tty Now have a look at the file /etc/DIR_COLORS this is the configuration file for the color ls utility You can copy it to your home directory to override the system settings. In it, you can set the different colors for directories and files to your liking. --Tino Meinen
