I'm logged in to my FreeBSD 5.2.1 box as 'admin' via ssh, why would I

override rw-r--r--  admin/admin for massage.xls?
Check the permissions on the directory?
-bash-2.05b$ ls -la
total 460441

To original poster: is the immutable bit set on the file?

I don't believe so...is this how you tell?

-bash-2.05b$ ls -lo massage.xls
-rw-r--r--  1 admin  admin  - 4463104 Aug 29 17:25 massage.xls

see chflags(1).  Most likely it is.  If you really want the file gone,
(as root*):

#chflags noschg massage.xls
#rm massage.xls

HTH,

*admin is _also_ a UID 0 account?  Seems that could be dangerous?
