From the man page of ll:
"If a file has optional ACL entries, the -l (ell) option displays a plus sign (+) after the file's permissions. The permissions shown are a summary representation of the file's access control list, as
returned by stat() in the st_mode field (see stat(2))."

but why the + sign disappeared after a while even I've not done anything to the files?

Hi eran,
I have the output from swlist like this:

# PHCO_20031
PHCO_20031.UX-CORE configured
# PHKL_18543
PHKL_18543.C-INC configured
PHKL_18543.CORE-KRN configured
PHKL_18543.CORE2-KRN configured
PHKL_18543.KERN2-RUN configured
PHKL_18543.VXFS-ADV-KRN configured
PHKL_18543.VXFS-BASE-KRN configured
PHKL_18543.VXFS-PRG configured
# PHKL_20016
PHKL_20016.CORE2-KRN configured

some of the patches you mentioned are not there, do you mean I have to apply them all to get rid of it? what command is used to display details of ACL in JFS? tq.

Hi

Yep , you need all the patches that i gave because all the patches are the dep. of the patch of the ACL .

i solve 3 cases like this and it is in all the cases the same , that not all the dep. of the ACL patches are install .

try it .
