If you do a normal "ls -l" command, does the plus sign show up at the end of the permission bits? If so, it is an extended ACL. In addition, if you do a "man ls" it describes the plus sign right after it describes the permission bits.

I haven't seen this style of display before. What do you get if you do a getfacl on the pagent_TTLS.conf file?

I re-typed the display below: Type Perm Permission Owner Filename File 755 rwxr-xr-x BPXROOT pagent_TTLS.bkup20191118 File +755 +rwxr-xr-x pagent_TTLS.conf File 755 rwxr-xr-x BPXROOT pagent_TTLS.conf.oldcert I am really interested in what the "+" means in front of the 755 and the permissions rwxr-xr-x. I think it means the file pagent_TTLS.conf is somehow protected externally by RACF but I am not sure. I have not been able to locate a redbook or manual that tells me what the "+" means. In a CHMOD command the + means adding permissions, that I know (or think I know). I am not a z/UNIX guru by any stretch of the imagination. I am hoping someone can enlighten me please. Also if it is externally protected how I could go about displaying the RACF protection or profile or ?? I have a started task that tries to copy in an new version of this file when we do a DR test but my started task fails and I need to do it manually as SuperUser.
