I was messing around with aliases I didn't want on a RH box just yesterday, actually. I had a 6.1 box. When 6.2 came out, it apparently started making 'ls' show the output in colours: a default they knew to be controversial, so they put how to disable it into the release notes. I didn't upgrade them. But I just upgraded to 7.0, and the damn colour thing started happening, and this time, disabling it -wasn't- in the release notes. And I wanted my nice plain old ls back, for all my accounts. I had forgotten all about aliases because I so rarely use them. So I poked about in /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile for ages looking for 'ls'. When I didn't find them, I completely failed to follow through and look in the /etc/profile.d/ directory. Which is where the thing was sneakily hiding. Grr!
