annoyed seeing . after file permissions and want to remove it
drwxr-xr-x. 3 testuser1 testuser1 4096 2013-01-27 19:26 testfile
find . -print0 |xargs -0 -n 1 sudo setfattr -h -x security.selinux
Reason for that : dot is actually an selinux security context
Type ls -Z command you will see the SELinux applied security context:
ls -Z /var
ls -Z /home
ls --lcontext /etc
