Re: Permission problem

This indicates that ACL's are also in effect for this file/directory. You can use getacl (if this is a vxfs filesystem) or lsacl (if this is an hfs filesystem) to see the ACL data. Man getacl, lsacl for details.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: Permission problem

The "+" indicates that there is an ACL (Access Control List) entry set with the file.

Use the getacl command (man getacl for more info) to find out what has been set and (setacl to set or change the setting).

Post the output of getacl for more info.

Also, at one time the "+" indicated CDF, context dependent file, when there were diskless workstations.

Re: Permission problem

Hi gigiz,

"+" is indicating that ACL is active to that file.
You can delegate permissions to any files by using ACL.That means you can assign permissions(whatever) to users to the particular file.
If it is active, that permission will be applied to that file.
