Directory colors

Hey guys,

When I used a Solaris box way back I had directory, file , symbolic link colors, etc... I can't seem to find the .dircolors file and how i set it up for bash on Solaris... anyone remember how to do it?

Thanks!

coreutils-5.97-sol9-sparc-local.gz GNU Coreutils are a set of basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities for the GNU operating system that are expected to exist on every operating system. Previously, they were offered as three individual distributions: fileutils, shellutils, and textutils - installs in /usr/local. You may need to install libiconv to use this package.
