Subject: Permissions, F-16 -

        Would someone explain the meaning of the permissions in the last
        line below, especially the "+" ?

            [root@box6 bobg]# ll /dev/bus/usb/001
            total 0
            crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 0 Feb 28 03:08 001
            crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 2 Feb 28 03:08 003

        I understand read, write, and execute, and generally set them
        with the values of 4, 2, and 1, but the --. and the --+ don't
        seem to be covered in anything I've "googled." "d" for
        directory, but "c" ?

        Thanks,

        Bob

The c means it's a character special device (or file. ) Possibly a scanner connected
via USB?
The + means there are ACL's in affect for it
