My point was that doing that isn't good practice, where systems
administration goes.
/etc/skel/.bashrc:
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
If you add "unalias ls" or "alias ls='ls --youroptions'" to $HOME/.bashrc
after 'fi', you've continued to allow for shell profiles (which is really
quite cool, when you get into it) and still gotten your way.

Do any other colors seem awkward? And does the color appear while
in console mode, or just X? What kind of video card are you using?
I only ask because I've seen this happen before with cruddy cards,
and the default behavior doesn't include color for the manual pages.
