Lowell Gilber #3 / 5	color ls after issuing a 'su' ? comp.unix.bsd.freebsd is not widely propagated, so you won't necessarily get much help here. See http://www.freebsd.org/support.html for better ideas... If you type 'ls -G', you'll get colors. If you use 'su -m' instead of just 'su', you'll keep your shell environment.

G Rosamo #5 / 5	color ls after issuing a 'su' ? you can also check /root for two files. . . .bashrc & .bash_profile, and you'll see these switches as aliases. . . you can edit these files, and you'll be able to delete the -G.
