   I am trying to upgrade a running production server with rdist, but some
of the files will not update. I am getting messages like:


rdist: server.foo.net:/bin/rcp: Operation not permitted updating: /kernel rdist: server.foo.net:/kernel: Operation not permitted updating: /sbin/init rdist: server.foo.net:/sbin/init: Operation not permitted

These files probably have the system immutable flag set. Make sure you do not have the system security level enabled ("sysctl kern.securelevel" gives -1), then run:


chflags noschg /kernel /bin/rcp /sbin/init

...or "chflags -R noschg /".
