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 > I have an fc7 box that I'm trying to remove a directory on.
