I have FreeBSD 3.1-Release installed. This is great system. But I have one problem. Not far, when I tried WHO command system write to me: who: /var/run/utmp - device not configured. Also, when system boots up I can see this message: rm /var/run/utmp - utmp: Operation not permitted. Also I cannot use TALK command, because error message being assigned. My file /var/log/messages are full of this strings: Nov 1 06:18:53 vhi comsat[11016]: open: /var/run/utmp: Permission denied. Nov 1 06:18:53 vhi inetd [167]: /usr/libexec/comsat[11016]: Exit status 0x100. I tried to use FSCK, but fsck write that all ok! I cannot delete this file manually, using rm command or using MC-4.5.1, because system writes: "/var/run/utmp" - Cannot delete. Operation not permitted (1). What happened with my system? And what I can do? Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English.
