I thought root could do anything...

Could someone disabuse me of whatever I've got awry here: I have a bunch of files with rwxrwx--- permissions (x only on scripts!) owned by dylan group dandg. group dandg covers only my boyfriend and I, and the files are our personal stuff (hence 'other' has no read access) They are in a directory with the same properties/ownership. NOW, I cannot do file ops on these as root. I thought root was exempt. It can delete files with rw-rw-r--, afterall. -- Dylan dylan@dylan.me.uk HTML mail will be rejected
