[CentOS] CentOS 6: file and directory permissions
Hi, I fear I am too stupid: I find nowhere the explanation of the dot in file permissions like: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 457 Aug 4 17:27 config I have searched in forums, Red Hat deployment guide, storage administration guide etc Thank you for help in advance.

From: Helmut Drodofsky drodof...@internet-xs.de I find nowhere the explanation of the dot in file permissions like: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 457 Aug 4 17:27 config I have searched in forums, Red Hat deployment guide, storage administration guide etc … Google dot in permissions... Results will tell you to read the ls info page, which says: Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies whether an alternate access method such as an access control list applies to the file. When the character following the file mode bits is a space, there is no alternate access method. When it is a printing character, then there is such a method. GNU `ls' uses a `.' character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method. A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is marked with a `+' character. JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
