[LearnAdmin] Remove dot after file permissions on Linux

[Naresh Surampudi]

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
