By running installworld and mergemaster in single user mode, as /usr/src/UPDATING tells you. You are probably using securelevel, which does not permit you to remove schg flags from anything.

Note that it doesn't leave anything behind if you run in single user mode, it just complains a bit. JT> P. S.: interestingly, there's also a /var/empty that's also schg. Yes, this is used for sshd's privilege separation feature. It's an empty directory for the authentication stage of ssh, and setting the schg flag makes sure it stays empty. :) Cheers, - -- Dimitry Andric <dim@xs4all.nl> PGP Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~dim/dim.asc Fingerprint: 7AB462D2CE35FC6D42394FCDB05EA30A2E2096A3 Lbh ner abj va ivbyngvba bs gur QZPN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt http://www.ipgpp.com/ Comment: http://duncan.gn.apc.org/stoa_cover.htm iQA/AwUBPagk2rBeowouIJajEQKfxACeKiTdvPS8mxsRkkBTE5qo8WziVqQAoLMS vZ4O89Ad0grl2pZ0Ssr1DKAI =4g7L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
