LazyWeb: What is that . doing there?
So tonight I was sitting there tonight getting ready to setup cobbler for another installation source, and I noticed something very odd.
# ls -l /root
total 88
-rw-------. 1 root root 1176 2008-11-23 17:22 anaconda-ks.cfg
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 2008-12-14 18:37 bin
See the . ? Where you ask? Look closer!
drwxr-xr-x. <– look, there it is!! At first, I thought it was just one file, but then I noticed it other places, then I looked further, and it seems to be everywhere.
What is up with that? Where does this come from? What is it for? LazyWeb, can you help me?
Cheers,
Herlo

See this thread on the fedora-test-list:

Basically this means the file has a selinux attribute/label.
I guess seLinux since my non-seLinux Debian system doesn’t have that.
acl
It is not an ACL as axet says. ACLs show up as ‘+’. Just do ls -l /dev/ to see a few.
