That's a fair question I suppose.

First, this is a multiuser operating system and I want to fix the 
problem where it exists, so that it fixes it for all new accounts that 
I create.

Secondly, I did. But the default values aliased to 'ls' do not just go 
away. Rather any customization I make just gets _added_ in with the 
other values initialized from the /etc/profile (or where ever) 
directory upon login.

I realize I could just moving the /etc/profile directory off my 
partition, and maybe look at building my own, but I am really only 
interested in one particular problematic feature. One in which I have 
spent a fair amount of time already trying to discover how it is set 
up, and have not been able to solve.

So, if there is anyone who can tell me what part of the bash scripts in 
/etc/profile or elsewhere are causing this funky behavior, I would very 
much appreciate it.
