I am trying to remove all Access Control Lists (ACL) from my home folder by issuing the command

chmod -R -N ~

As a result, however, all "@" in the verbose directory listing are still there:

drwxr-xr-x@ 68 dominik staff 2312 Jun 2 11:19 Desktop

Is there a better way to remove ACLs for good?

Dominik, the @ sign doesn't indicate the existence of ACLs, but of extended attributes. To view the extended attributes, do an "ls -la@"

ACLs are indicated by a + sign.
