ls with colors

Do you have ls with colors?

Both on console and in xterm/konsole I have monochromatic output of ls, to turn on colors I need to use:

ls --color=tty

What was your way to configure it for whole system (alias?) or what I did wrong?

add to ~/.bashrc

alias ls='ls --color=auto'

then relogin.

I wrote about alias in original post, is there no better way to do it?

i cant see why you would need a better way. if you want a system wide one, put it in /etc/profile.
