[Tfug] Changing xterm colors

[Matt Jacob]

At work, I have access to a few boxes via SSH. One is running Red Hat,
and one is running Gentoo. The RH box uses a really dark shade of blue
for directories (when using ls --color) and also for comments in vim.
My terminal background is black, so dark blue on black is nearly
impossible to read. The Gentoo box uses a brighter shade of blue,
which I can actually read against the black background.

The question: How do I change my color settings on the RH box to make
them the same as the Gentoo box? I've checked out setterm, and I think
that may be what I want, but I'm confused as to what exactly I need to
do. Any ideas?

If all of this has been thoroughly confusing, I can post screen shots
to illustrate the difference.
