I tried that line and it didn't work, tried it in various tinkerings and
it still didn't work. Then again, you did say "untested." :-)
Regardless, you all pointed me in the right direction and I was able to
locate the LS color section in /etc/bash.bashrc. I changed the
following:
if test "${LS_COLORS+empty}" = "${LS_COLORS:+empty}" ; then
LS_OPTIONS=--color=tty <--- (CHANGED TTY TO NONE)
That did the trick. I suppose I should follow Patrick's suggestion and
copy the entire LS section to bash.bashrc.local so I won't lose my
changes in an update.
This seems less volatile than creating an empty LS_Colors file and
losing all those other colors for another user.
Thanks for all your help.
