Oh no ... not color ls...

I can tell what things are at a glance without colors:

basalt (thorpej) /sys 303% ls
total 28
1 CVS/          1 ddb/          1 miscfs/       2 netiso/       1 ufs/
1 Makefile      1 dev/          1 msdosfs/      1 netns/        1 vm/
1 adosfs/       0 hp300@        1 net/          1 nfs/
1 arch/         1 isofs/        1 netccitt/     1 scsi/
1 compat/       2 kern/         1 netinet/      1 stand/
1 conf/         1 lib/          1 netipx/       2 sys/

i.e. Makfile is a file, adosfs/ is a directory, and hp300@ is a symlink.

basalt (thorpej) /sys 304% alias ls
/bin/ls -sCF

That ought to do the trick.
