Hello: I have 2 files that resists all efforts to delete them. I can even move them to another directory, but still cannot delete. Can chmod too, but still same resistance; I originally figured they occupied a bad spot on the HD, but now not sure about that. Please, any suggestions about what to do to remove these files? Here are the files and the error message: rm: local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Hostname.pm: Operation not permitted rm: local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm: Operation not permitted I've gone all the way down to the last dir and tried to delete them there. No joy! All directories in between only include the dirs and no files. I want to delete the entire path of directories, but those 2 stubborn files will not permit that. rm: local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/Sys: Directory not empty Please, any help appreciated! Thank you, Jack L Stone. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
