I see that your directory is /home/joeuser. Do an "id" to see if you are root.

If you aren't the Admin, get to root have your Unix Admin try to remove it.

Just a thought...

Yeah. I am root on the machine. It's my firewall/proxy/webserver/packet sniffer machine here at the house. I do some perl/c coding on it from time to time but that is about it.

It's strange that the `gzip -c` has hung the way it has. Sometime in March I am bringing up the 23 rack from the garage to my office and I will have to power down the machine at that point. I reckon it will not be a problem after that.
