chattr certain dirs on Debian? (was Re: rm: cannot unlink `sendmail': Operation not permitted)
Nope... it wasn't running. I did a "chattr = sendmail" to remove all flags, and now it works. [EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# lsattr |more suSiadAc-- ./iconvconfig suSiadAc-- ./rpcinfo suSiadAc-- ./zdump suSiadAc-- ./zic suSiadAc-- ./pwunconv suSiadAc-- ./pwck suSiadAc-- ./glibc_post_upgrade suSiadAc-- ./mklost+found suSiadAc-- ./arping suSiadAc-- ./clockdiff suSiadAc-- ./ping6 Redhat 7.2 has these by default. Despite the trouble it caused me earlier, perhaps this is a *GOOD* thing... it would prevent root from accidentally deleting any critical system files, and would make hacking/cracking slightly harder (okay... only slightly, but hey... everything adds up to help). On a Debian system: sh-2.05a# lsattr /usr/sbin -- /usr/sbin/locale-gen -- /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure -- /usr/sbin/vchkpw -- /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure Would this be something we want to do on Debian?
