I am really perplexed. I just cannot seem to delete the file /usr/chfn.
Here is a dialog of my embrassingly ignorant attempts:
root@kott [/usr/bin]# rm chfn
override r-sr-xr-x root/bin schg for chfn? y
rm: chfn: Operation not permitted
root@kott [/usr/bin]# chmod u+w chfn
chmod: chfn: Operation not permitted
root@kott [/usr/bin]# chown root:wheel chfn
chown: chfn: Operation not permitted
root@kott [/usr/bin]# whoami
root
root@kott [/usr/bin]# groups
wheel kmem sys tty operator bin staff guest
root@kott [/usr/bin]# mount | grep "/usr"
/dev/wd2s1e on /usr (local, noatime)
root@kott [/usr/bin]# lsof | grep chfn
root@kott [/usr/bin]#
Can someone.. anyone...give me, or perhaps lend me a clue on how to
remove this pesky file? I think I failed to renew my clue subscription...
I am running:
