Edit your ~/.bashrc (/etc/skel/.bashrc for all new users) and your
~/.bash_profile (/etc/skel/.bash_profile for all users)

There is an option in .bashrc to turn it on, just uncomment it. There is
an option in .bash_profile to source .bashrc on logon, just uncomment
it.

Have a look at your ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile.

In .bash_profile you'll have to uncomment the block for inclusion of the 
.bashrc.

My shell dotfiles (for zsh, but this should work for any modern Bourne
shell) have:

  ls() { /bin/ls --color --classify $@; }

which implements this functionality as a shell function.
