The key to look for is "schg". I believe it stands for "stop change". Several binaries (also the kernel) are installed with this flag (see the -f switch to install) during a make world. To remove them, use chflags noschg <filename>. The file can then be removed. A word of warning though - those files had the flag set for a reason, so watch what you remove it from. -- j. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | James FitzGibbon james@expresslane.ca | | Internet Canada Corp.
