Compile and install the bash shell:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make && make install && make clean
# make && make install && make clean
Change user settings to apply the bash shell:

Compile and install the colorls package:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/colorls
# make && make install && make clean
# make && make install && make clean
Add the following lines to .profile in your home directory:
alias ls=’colorls -FG’
TERM=wsvt25
export TERM
TERM=wsvt25
export TERM
Note: I don’t recommend changing the shell for root, I have seen some
weird things happen.
