I've been running 6.1 RC-1 for a couple of weeks with
no problem. I've just installed a fresh copy of 6.1
roduction and when logging in as root am able to see
(.)hidden files when running the 'ls' command. Is this
normal, or is there something that I need to change to
ensuer that the (.) files stay hidden unless i use ls -a
