Also, after some are set, I've now found that even sudo'ing "no" commands in chflags will not undo the original flag. -rw-r--r-- 1 jeffrey admin sappnd,arch,opaque 16 17 Oct 22:54 testfile :~/desktop root# chflags nosappnd testfile chflags: testfile: Operation not permitted Is there some other way to un-set these flags?
