Greetings,
Twenty minutes of googling and still no answers.
When I do a directory listing using 'ls -l'
and I see
-rw-rw-r--
-rw-r--r--.
What's the final period indicate.
I realize that this is a newbie question, but I'm stumped at finding an
answer.
From 'info ls' (yeah, I know, info pages are horrible...):
"
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 a security
context, but no other alternate access method.
A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is
marked with a ‘+’ character.
"
So, it indicates the file has a selinux context on it. (See which one
with ls -Z)
Much thanks for the reply; this was very helpful.
If I recall on the machines that I did a fresh install of Fedora, the
first boot defaulted to selinux being on. I think that in every case I've
disabled it.
Given that the prevalence of this attribute is on files and directories
from those periods when the first Fedora installation, that reinforces the
point.

Thank you again.
