I wouldn't think it would. I would guess that
it was a mistake. But that is the error message
you get when you try to remove a file with
schg flag set.

"My other major appointee will be Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf. I realize that,
by putting this man in my administration, I run the risk of becoming wildly
popular, but that's a risk I am willing to take. He'll be in charge of
battling a domestic scourge that is every bit as much of a threat to this
nation as any foreign power. That's right: I'm going to place him in charge
of the War On Light Beer. As Light Beer Czar, Gen. Schwarzkopf will have a
two-pronged mission, which is to find out (1) who is making this stuff, and
(2) what happens to their breweries when you drop bombs on them."
--- Some of Dave Barry's presidential campaign promises, 1992
