If you don't feel like finding out which flags are set ("ls -lo"), then this should work from single user-mode:

chflags noschg nosappnd nosunlnk <file>; rm -f <file>

The flags available on my system (10.4.8) seemed to be a little different. The following worked for me: chflags noschg,nouchg,nosappnd,nouappnd,noarch,noopaque,nodump <file> Also, those flag names must be separated as shown, with commas and no spaces. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
