I've installed 9.0-RC3 amd64. I'm trying to enable color output for

I can get colorized output by providing color codes (echo
^[[34mhello^[[37m produces a blue "hello") at the command line so I know
my terminal is capable.
Is there some other secret? This is a new install and I'm just trying
to set things up.
Put
setenv LSCOLORS ExGxdxdxCxDxDxBxBxegeg
in the csh's initialisation file (typically ~/.cshrc
for local use, /etc/csh.cshrc for global effect)
and maybe setup an alias:
alias ls 'ls -FG'
alias ll 'ls -laFG'
However, ls should provide colored output even
if you don't set the $LSCOLORS variable. It
should work with the default terminal emulation
(cons25 or cons25l1).
From here: http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/misc.html
CLICOLOR="YES"; export CLICOLOR
LSCOLORS="ExGxFxdxCxDxDxhbadExEx"; export LSCOLORS
I last updated that page a while ago...But it still seems to be working for me.
:) You shouldn't really have to muck around with term type or anything...
Cheers,

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor
do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger
is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either
a daring adventure, or nothing.
