Coloured folders/files in terminal?

Hi

Ok, I've noticed that whenever I log in to the CLI using root and do a "ls" command the folders and files are always coloured.

However, this is only under root. Whenever I log in using a user this isn't the case, or when I use a terminal app such as aterm/xterm/rxvt.

Can anyone inform me as to why this is? Can this happen for "everyone" (as it is very useful)? If so, how?

Thanks!

Put the following line in the ~/.bashrc file for the user

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
