I missed that because it's different in the F10 version of ls: 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. For a file with an extended access control list, a `+' character is listed. Basic access control lists are equivalent to the permissions listed, and are not considered an alternate access method. poc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
