Hi gang, Here is a puzzler. In one of my /var/log directories managed by logrotate, I have a series of files such as: check_rootkit.out.xx where the xx are numbers from 1 to 10. When I do an "ls" in that directory, I am told that stat cannot access the file with the number 8 at the end because I have no permissions. The other files in the group have permissions 0600 and are owned by root:root, and I am root when I attempt this. What can be happening here? Is there such a file or not? It does not get listed with the other similar ones, and I am not told "does not exist" when trying to access, but "no permission". I cannot chown it, or chmod it, or ls it, or of course rm it, which is what I would like to do. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any clue how to handle this?
