Use lsattr and check the attributes on the file, if is is listed as type
i (imutable) for example, you will not be able to remove the file unless
you use chattr and remove the attribute first.

Last week I've send a mail about a weird file, that should be a directory
but it was a character device. (/usr/X11R6/include/X11/fonts). It also had
weird permissions:

        c---r-----   1 8224     10280     49, 117 Dec  1  2031 fonts

Now I'm trying to remove this file, the system won't allow me (yes
ofcourse I'm root). I've also tried rm -f.
I've tried to chown the 'file'/'character device' to root and a chmod, the
only thing I get to see is Operation not permitted.

Any suggestions???

Ron
