Can somebody put a line in such that we can reply to the list rather than to the user? I have seen several people request this already.

The 'dircolors' executable just sets up "LS_COLORS=''", which isn't very useful. The documentation for 'dircolors' refers to using 'dircolors --print-data-base' for help on what format to use, so I saved the output and tried running dircolors on it, but it still sets LS_COLORS to a null string. Does anybody have any information on how to get 'ls' to colorize files by file name, such as the old color-ls used to do? Unless I am completely missing something obvious, it looks like either 'dircolors' doesn't work, or the documentation is completely wrong (this is running on Debian 1.2).
