Which commands did you run as root, or su/sudo root? I have sometimes, especially when moving files between systems where the numeric uids are different, found myself doing a recursive chmod or chown, and being unable to change permissions on some files because of the user I was running as. Then, after the directory permissions changed, being able to change them on a second pass. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
