Good day!

I have FreeBSD 3.1-Release installed. This is great system. But I have one
problem.

Not far, when I tried WHO command system write to me:

who: /var/run/utmp - device not configured.

Also, when system boots up I can see this message:

rm /var/run/utmp - utmp: Operation not permitted.

Also I cannot use TALK command, because error message being assigned.

My file /var/log/messages are full of this strings:

Nov 1 06:18:53 vhi comsat[11016]: open: /var/run/utmp: Permission denied.
Nov 1 06:18:53 vhi inetd [167]: /usr/libexec/comsat[11016]: Exit status
0x100.

I tried to use FSCK, but fsck write that all ok!
I cannot delete this file manually, using rm command or using MC-4.5.1,
because system writes: "/var/run/utmp" - Cannot delete. Operation not
permitted (1).


What happened with my system? And what I can do?

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English.
