Hi All,

I've now installed a new CentOS 6.3 64bit version with DA. ext4

I've noticed something that I haven't seen before on Centos 5.x (32/64) with ext3.

There is a period at the directory permissions.

# ll
total 56
drwx--x--x. 7 admin admin 4096 Oct 27 17:51 admin
drwx------. 6 aab aab 4096 Oct 26 22:59 aab
-rw-------. 1 root root 8192 Oct 28 10:16 aquota.group
-rw-------. 1 root root 8192 Oct 28 10:16 aquota.user
drwx--x--- 4 ddd access 4096 Oct 28 10:10 ddd
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 02:10 ftp
drwx--x--- 4 hhhrch access 4096 Oct 28 10:16 hhhrch
drwx------. 2 root root 16384 Oct 26 20:56 lost+found
drwxrwxrwt. 2 root root 4096 Oct 28 09:50 tmp

It is not showing up on all directories, so I'm not clear on what is that (.) means.
Thanks for any input.

Thanks,. but it is still weird!

I have vi /etc/selinux/config with

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Click to expand...

thanks for the quick reply:

So the SELinux setting is already disabled.
So not clear as to why I see the trailing dot.

Doesnt mean that it might not still show up. It may be something new in centos 6 built into the kernel.
