What is a -rw-rw---+ permission

[Sony Antony]

This was a Solaris 2.8 machine. One of the files that was accessed
through windows ( mapped network drive using Samba ) ended up with
this permission.
( What is that + sign at the end of it )
I have never seen this before and could not explain it.
Is this somehow related to Access Control List ( ACL )
Can somebody pl help.

Thanks a lot:
I dont know how I missed this one. I did check the man page then.

By the way, other than the programmatic APIs, are there any command line
utilities to manipulate ACLs.
