This is correct. The dot at the end of a file permissions listing indicates that ACL's have been set on a file or directory. If you want to see what those ACLs are, you can use the getfacl command to look at them. To set them (or unset them) you can use the setfacl command.

everyone probably knows but ill say it anyway. Android is linux too. you can install a terminal emulator app in any android and practice your *nix commands without messing anything up.
