While moving the /usr filesystem to a new harddrive
I decided to use:
cp -Rp /usr/* /var/news/.usr
to store a temporary copy.

I mounted the new harddrive and used the same
command to copy everything back.

Now, strangely enough, I cannot remove
a few files from /var/news/.usr

For example the file:
/var/news/.usr/bin/chfn
with mode 4555
cannot be rm'd or chmod'd
(I try this as root of course)

What have I done?
Am I missing something here?

TIA,
Matt
