Hey, give me *some* credit, Ben!

Okay, guess what: a "feature" has bitten me. When one uses "ls" in RH, it
has the --color alias set, something that I normally love. However, the
--color feature has one *REALLY* annoying thing. For example, files with
+x set show up in green. Handy for executables. Well, so do files that
end in ".sh" -- EVEN IF their executable bits aren't set.
As was the case here. Wups.

And, yes, it is an untrusted source, but it certainly appears to be legit,
and it's from the site itself, instead of off on somebody's somewhere,
hidden far, far away...
