Description of problem: /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm is a version of /etc/DIR_COLORS that has disabled the bold attribute for directory listings on an xterm since bold colors tend to be harder to read on xterm's default white background. The comments that accompany these settings don't seem to have been updated to reflect this change. For instance, the comment "executables (bright green)" should now be "executables (green)", since without the bold attribute the color is now just green. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-5.2.1-48
Thanks. Fixed in CVS.
