On a 4.4-RELEASE system, I'm trying to understand

  # ls -ol /bin/rcp
  -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  schg 244712 Oct  1 17:20 /bin/rcp
  # ln /bin/rcp /eraseme
  ln: /eraseme: Operation not permitted
  # ls /eraseme
  ls: /eraseme: No such file or directory

It appears that I can't hard link a file whose schg flag is set.
I've checked `man 1 ln', man 2 link', `man 1 chflags', and `man 2
chflags' but can't find any good clues about what's happening.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,

tim
