Consult your .bashrc & .bash_profile.

Usually you'll find either "alias ls='ls --color'" or "export
LSOPTS=--color=always". Take your pick.
Thanks Rob (and Chris J) for your replies. I've uncommented the lines
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
eval `dircolors`
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l'
alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'

in the .bashrc files for my own account and for root but I only get the effect I want if I'm logged in as root.
Any ideas?
