Something odd is going on if root can't remove it, root should override all file permissions and do it anyway unless
a) You have a read-only filesystem
b) selinux is tut-tutting at you.
Technically mv and rm do not modify the file, they modify the directory. What permissions do you have on the folder you're inside?

Hi,
When I listed one directory in Sun, it showed that :
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root bsmbin 78004 Oct 21 2004 bsmprsm
I don't know meaning of the character "s" in "rws" above. I have searched in Sun admin documents but no result. Would you please explain it ? :)
Thank you so much. (1 Reply)

Output the list of package-id strings corresponding to receipts in the installer's receipt database that will be verified or
repaired by the --standard-pkgs flag.
--verify Verify the specified package(s).
--repair Repair the specified package(s).
--pkg package-id
Add the specified package to the list of packages to verify or repair.
--standard-pkgs
Add the standard packages to the list of packages to verify or repair. Use --list-standard-pkgs to view this list.
