Hello. I am currently moving to a new log administration policy, the problem is that there are some old logs that I would like to delete but I can't, the error is the typical "Operation not permitted" although I am trying to do this as root, the file's permissions are ok and there are no special file flag activated or anything, any ideas? suckea# uname -a FreeBSD suckea.com 5.3-SECURITY FreeBSD 5.3-SECURITY #0: Wed Jul 20 06:22:23 UTC 2005 =20 root@builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 mybox# ls -lo [snip] -rwx------ 1 root wheel - 78 Dec 6 15:00 auth.log.zzpKVF1 -rwx------ 1 root wheel - 78 Jan 3 05:00 auth.log.zzr4dZD -rwx------ 1 root wheel - 78 Jan 4 17:00 auth.log.zzyP5R0 mybox# rm -rf auth.log.* [snip] rm: auth.log.zzr4dZD: Operation not permitted rm: auth.log.zzyP5R0: Operation not permitted mybox# uname -a FreeBSD suckea.com 5.3-SECURITY FreeBSD 5.3-SECURITY #0: Wed Jul 20 06:22:23 UTC 2005 =20 root@builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Thanks for your time.
