2. locked the file with FInder - can NOT be deleted by NSFileManager.
2a tried rm. It asked me "override uchg", I answered "y", it replied
"Operation not permitted". So why ask in the first place? But at
least consistent.
(The file now has: "NSFileImmutable=1")
I'm not sure of the mechanics of it, but on the face of it this is a
bug - in my experience only the root user can overwrite the
permissions (and even then only sometimes); a non-root user should
never be asked.
uchg is not a permission, it is a flag. If you are the owner of the
file you can override it. This is not a bug, it's a feature.
man chflags for more info.
