Deleting write protected files?
Ok, thid is annoying. I'm logging in as root, yet there are still some Links SQL files I can not delete (mainly those in the /admin/GT/ and /admin/Links/ folders)...does anyone know how to remove the files in it that are write protected?

Thanks

man chattr

To unsecure a file (to make it writeable again) use the command:

chattr -i /i/know/where/bin/laden/is

Then use the following to remove the files.:

rm -rf /i/know/where/bin/laden/is

- wil

If you can't delete them as root you must have really made a screw up ;)

Are you sure you are logged in a root?
