Hi,
I have this nagging problem... I used to have color in bash and vi (on an 
old retired rh7.3 box). I managed to find out that export 
COLORS=/etc/dirCOLOR.xterm and I get colors in the shell. The question is, 
where is this supposed to be set? Also found dircolor which I assume to be 
an internal bash command... I did some googling and found various hints to 
set colors for specific commands like ls. What I'm trying to accomplish is 
to have colors in bash setup by default for all users and also colors when I 
use vi to edit various programming languages like perl and java.
