Hello, I recently copied various pdf files and folders from an NTFS partition on my computer over to my Mandrake 9.2 distro; and I am having some issues. When running ls -l as a user, it says that I own the file; and I get the same permissions when running ls -l as root. Yet, I am unable to enact any changes when running chmod as a user (who owns the file) OR as root. I noticed that all of the pdf files have a trailing "*" which I assume to mean the file is an excutable. However, any pdf's that I download while using linux do not show up with a trailing "*". I am also unable to change any permissions on directories that I transferred over from an NTFS partition. What am I missing here; and how do I fix this?
Thanks, Brian
