All are dirs, and "empty" is mode "dr-". Not even root can chmod or rmdir. I may be wrong, but the index node does no seem to point to itself. Any ideas on what's going on? How to remove? This is more of a HUH, WHAT THE HELL? than anything. I'm stumped. It this a new security feature in 4.7PRE? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
