This is, as others have stated, very likely an alias. A similar alias
appears in Mandrake distros, since at least 7.1 (as far back as I go with
them). It, along with many others, is set sysem-wide due to its inclusion
in the /etc/bashrc file. In Mandrake 8.1, it looks like this:

alias ll='ls -FAhl --color=auto'
