What is this > empty directory?!?! The reason you can't delete it is beacause it has the schg flag set. Use chflags(1) to remove the flag. The directory is used as a chroot(2) directory by sshd and is supposed to exist and be empty. The schg flag is set to make sure /var/empty stays empty. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
