# 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
