I am really perplexed. I just cannot seem to delete the file /usr/chfn. Here is a dialog of my embrassingly ignorant attempts: root@kott [/usr/bin]# rm chfn override r-sr-xr-x root/bin schg for chfn? y rm: chfn: Operation not permitted root@kott [/usr/bin]# chmod u+w chfn chmod: chfn: Operation not permitted root@kott [/usr/bin]# chown root:wheel chfn chown: chfn: Operation not permitted root@kott [/usr/bin]# whoami root root@kott [/usr/bin]# groups wheel kmem sys tty operator bin staff guest root@kott [/usr/bin]# mount | grep "/usr" /dev/wd2s1e on /usr (local, noatime) root@kott [/usr/bin]# lsof | grep chfn root@kott [/usr/bin]# Can someone.. anyone...give me, or perhaps lend me a clue on how to remove this pesky file? I think I failed to renew my clue subscription...
