>Is there a better way to turn off all the user flags then?
Turning them all off works of course:
chflags dump,noopaque,nouappnd,nochg,nouunlnk
Is this better :-)? It's not future-proof. I'd prefer `chflags nouflags'.
cheflags.3 misdescribes the nodump flag. It says that `dump' sets the
dump flag. It doesn't say that users can set it. It gives the worst
possible example for the use of `no' before a flag by giving `nodump'
as an example of turning off a flag. Actually, `dump' clears the nodump
flag and `nodump' sets the nodump flag.
The `opaque' flag is not mentioned in chflags.3.
These bugs are fixed in Lite2.
