ls, as provided by the bsd's, does not have a color option. In order to
get color ls, you need to to install the port 'gnuls'. it can be found
in /usr/ports/misc/gnuls. There is also a pacage available via ftp:
 ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.1/packages/$ARCH/gnuls-4.1.tgz

I generally add the following line to my profile:

alias ls='gnuls --color=auto'

hope this helps :)

My mind is like a rusty trap, you never know when, or if, it is
going to go off, and your likely to get tetanus when it does.
