I am playing with a beta of the up coming redhat enterprise 6.

I notice that at the end of the permissions with 'ls -l' there is an extra character,
it always seems to be a '.'. Can someone point me to where I can find out what it is
about. The 'man' command don't help:

	-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 908 Jul 29 18:25 /etc/passwd

TIA
