Hello,
I've never run into this before.  It looks like a weird file problem.
I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.2.
Someone decided to mess up my server and now I cannot delete a couple of files.
There is a file in the /etc dir.
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      31243 Sep 29 00:14 gay
If I try to do a rm on the file this is what I get back:
# rm gay
rm: gay: No such file or directory
#
What an I doing wong??

Also there is a multiple listing for the master.passwd file:
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      30615 Sep 29 11:37 master.passwd
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel         95 Sep 29 00:19 master.passwd
Should there be two entries?  If not, how do I get rid of one of them?

Thanks for any help.
    Ken.
