Dear all, I got weird permission on one of my server, when I ls -l the / i got permission for all directory set to "drwxr-xr-x." there are dot after the executable permission for others. what dot mean in permission and how to fix it? the actual problem is I could login via ssh but cannot login via winscp. any idea how to fix this? thanks in advance best regards,
IIRC, the "." at the end of the permissions indicates that the file has additional permission controls beyond the standard DAC bits, such as filesystem ACLs, filesystem capabilities, or other attributes.
Filesystem capabilities support is not present in CentOS 5, so are you using ACLs? What does the following show:
getfacl --tabular /*
AFAIK by default on centos partition mounted with acl option but I haven't set anything related to ACL
the output of getfacl --tabular /* # file: bin USER root rwx GROUP root r-x other r-x
