10.3: Colored output from 'ls' (revisited)
Authored by: fds on Oct 31, '03 08:48:02PM

You just have to set the TERM environment variable from the default "xterm" to "xterm-color" which is what the Apple Terminal.app uses.

So for example in bash:
export TERM="xterm-color"

In iTerm you can set the TERM value in the configuration dialog too.
