I took a copy of my linux /etc directory to analyse "it".
When done with it I tried to remove it with the following commands :
$ cd /tmp
$ rm -dfvR ./etc
$ rm -dfvR ./etc
removing `./etc'
rm: cannot unlink `./etc': Not owner
$ ls -la
total 11751

If I try to empty the director, I got the following :
$ cd ./etc
$ rm -fRv *
removing `Bastille'
rm: cannot unlink `Bastille': Not owner
removing `X11'
rm: cannot unlink `X11': Not owner
removing `alternatives'
rm: cannot unlink `alternatives': Not owner
removing `cron.d'
rm: cannot unlink `cron.d': Not owner
removing `cron.daily'
rm: cannot unlink `cron.daily': Not owner
removing `cron.hourly'
rm: cannot unlink `cron.hourly': Not owner
removing `cron.monthly'
rm: cannot unlink `cron.monthly': Not owner
... and so on ...
Could some one tell me how I should do ?
Tx,
THomas,
