you need 2 things...first, use dircolors to setup the info from
/etc/DIR_COLORS
then set the ls aliase...from my /etc/bashrc file:
eval `dircolors -b`
alias ls="ls --color"
there are different settings for dircolors if you use a different shell the
above works well with bash...try 'man dircolors' for more info.
hope this helps
