Subject: Permissions, F-16 -


         Would someone explain the meaning of the permissions in the last
         line below, especially the "+" ?

             [root@box6 bobg]# ll /dev/bus/usb/001
             total 0
             crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 0 Feb 28 03:08 001
             crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 2 Feb 28 03:08 003

         I understand read, write, and execute, and generally set them
         with the values of 4, 2, and 1, but the --. and the --+ don't
         seem to be covered in anything I've "googled." "d" for
         directory, but "c" ?

         Thanks,

         Bob


The c means it's a character special device (or file. ) Possibly a scanner 
connected via USB?
The + means there are ACL's in affect for it

       Thanks for the information.

       With that and Google I can at least work around my scanner user
       problem.

       [root@box6 bobg]# setfacl -m u:bobg:rw- /dev/bus/usb/001/003

       I know that will change on reboot, etc. But it's a start.

       Bob
