I have a strange problem. I have a small LAN using Samba. I have a public share on my FreeBSD server, at /home/public, that I use for documents that must be made available to everybody. A couple of days ago I posted an Excell worksheet for the teachers to use in submitting their end-of-term grades. Today I tried to modify it and got the message "being modified by Roger Merritt: would you like to open as Read Only?" The problem is I'm not modifying it. So I tried to delete it; no soap. So I went to the console, logged on and su'ed and tried to delete it. No dice. So I tried 'ls -lo', but no flags are set. Then I tried 'fstat -f /home/public', no files open from that directory. Tried again, 'cd /home/public; rm -f GradeSht.xls', and again I get "rm: GradeSht.xls: Permission denied". Permission denied!!! I am ROOT -- resistance is futile! Except it's not. I'm stymied. Oh, yeah, thinking my securelevel might have gotten changed I tried 'syscontrol kern.securelevel' and got -1, the default value, which it should be. What can I try next? I've tried searching the archives and haven't found anything yet. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
