Yeah, I don't know, the rsync script has been running for over a year and all of sudden it can't delete files. But I don't think the files are immutable. Did my previous post with the listing show this? But I tried and still.... -bash-2.05b$ ls -lo massage.xls -rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin - 4463104 Aug 29 17:25 massage.xls -bash-2.05b$ su Password: esmtp# chflags -R noschg ./ esmtp# exit -bash-2.05b$ rm massage.xls override rw-r--r-- admin/admin for massage.xls? -- Robert
