Wlashack: It works fine for me for creating multiple separators. Are you entering the defaults command correctly?

Ive tried to use this "howto". Its working but i dont know how to enter more separators in dock. When i enter command “default” (whole) multiply, i have only one in dock after “killall” command. Any idea? Mackbook White, 10.5.3

Dominik: I figured that was the problem. You must have some files with quote characters in them (or some other punctuation), which is why it doesn't work with the standard separators.

Glad you got it to work!

This entry in the macosx.com forums, http://macosx.com/forums/unix-x11/19015-xargs-grep.html, pointed me in the right direction. It suggests the use of the -0 option in xargs in conjunction with the -print0 primary in find. It therefore works, when I execute

for i in $(ls -Rl@ | grep '^ ' | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u); do echo echo Removing $i ... >&2; find . -print0 | xargs -0t xattr -d $i 2>/dev/null ; done

Now it would be interesting to know, why you guys don't need those modifications and I do.

Okay, I made the working directory ~/.ssh/.

This time it worked:

echo Removing com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot …
xattr -d com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot . ./authorized_keys ./id_dsa ./id_dsa.pub ./known_hosts
echo Removing com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot …
xattr -d com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot . ./authorized_keys ./id_dsa ./id_dsa.pub ./known_hosts

However, with the working directory being ~ and the -R option removed from the ls instruction I have

xargs: unterminated quote
echo Removing com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineNewestSnapshot …
xargs: unterminated quote
echo Removing com.apple.metadata:_kTimeMachineOldestSnapshot …
xargs: unterminated quote
