Full Discussion: DIR_COLORS change in fedora
Operating Systems Linux DIR_COLORS change in fedora Post 302251574 by otheus on Monday 27th of October 2008 12:56:36 PM

The DIR_COLORS actually doesn't effect anything. There's a little command which must be run by the user for that file to be utilized. It's
Code:
eval `dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS`

You can specify any file you want, but if you don't, then it uses a "precompiled database". Throw that in root's .bash_profile or whatever.
