Question ls -l shows a @ after permissions, why?
As in
Code:
>ls -l *.name
-rw-r--r--    1 c2s ... file0.name
-rw-r--r--    1 c2s ... file1.name
-rw-r--r--@ 1 c2s ... file2.name
-rw-r--r--@ 1 c2s ... file3.name

As the example shows, it only happens for some files.

What does the @ mean?

The @ is not described in the man page for ls

try running

#touch /.autorelabel

and reboot the system

thanks but I want to know what it means, not necessarily get rid of the permissions@. Is there is a reason to get rid of them? What info do they carry?

I believe it just means the file has extended attributes. Then + sign should mean extra sets of permissions like an ACL is applied to the file.
