Have a look at 'man ls'. The installed ls from RH 4.0 ist GNU ls which seems
to have color options.
Set an alias for ls like
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
A '--color' would work too but would also pass the color escape codes to a
pipe. With --color=tty colorization is only done when the output is a tty.
