I was just doing some work on one of the computers that I’ve installed RHEL6 on and noticed something weird. Here is a listing on an RHEL5 node:

[root@rhel5 tmp]# ll -d rhn*
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 12  2011 rhn_rpms

And here is a listing on an RHEL6 node:

[root@rhel6 tmp]# ll -d rhn*
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 14 08:12 rhn
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 May 14 08:16 rhn_rpms

What’s with the period after the last x in the mode info? I’m going to have to look into this.
