dirs & colors

To alter the colours for different file type you need to edit the dircolors config file.
On my system this is installed under /etc/DIR_COLORS
you may also need to add the following to /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile file
eval `dircolors -sh /etc/DIR_COLORS`
I don't need to add this to my /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile because it get's executed vi a script called color_ls.sh in the /etc/profile.d directory.
