Re: Can't remove or change a directory

Hi James,
You can use chattr (change attributes) command.

chattr -V =i tmp and then chsttr -V -i tmp and then try to remove the file.

You can man chattr for more information. Here is a good link for this
command.http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/cmd.csp?path=c/chattr

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Frank
