GNU fileutils does not include any file >/etc/DIR_COLORS. ls -l /etc/DIR_COLORS In RedHat it is /etc/DIR_COLORS, in GNU fileutils it is src/dircolors.hin. > GNU fileutils does not include any user aliases. User aliases are by >definition a user defined configuration. If you don't want any >aliases then don't define any. Unless that I could use ls --color=auto. At all. There is command in fileutils that parse dircolors.hin and returns LS_COLORS setup script. Many distributions use it. When therminal is dumb, dircolors sets this environment variable to ''. But in ls if LS_COLORS='' color indicators take their default value. And ls colors text as default. The only check on this way in current time is check for isatty /* Using --color with no argument is equivalent to using --color=always. */ i = color_always; print_with_color = (i == color_always || (i == color_if_tty && isatty (STDOUT_FILENO))); I suppose, you must add /* Using --color with no argument is equivalent to using --color=always. */ i = color_always; print_with_color = (i == color_always || (i == color_if_tty && isatty (STDOUT_FILENO)) &&(*getenv("LS_COLORS") != 0 )); Thanks for attention. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
