Hi,
I'm user 'cer'. To avoid deleting by mistake some files, I changed their ownership to another user:
cer@Isengard:~/Fusion/Videos/Crossing Jordan/Temporada 1> l p*mpeg - -rw-r--r-- 1 cer-g root 0 Jun 8 19:50 p.mpeg - -rw-r--r-- 1 cer-g root 0 Jun 8 19:50 p2.mpeg - -rw-r--r-- 1 cer-g root 0 Jun 8 19:50 p3.mpeg - -rw-r--r-- 1 cer-g root 0 Jun 8 19:50 p4.mpeg cer@Isengard:~/Fusion/Videos/Crossing Jordan/Temporada 1> rm p.mpeg rm: remove write-protected regular empty file 'p.mpeg'? n cer@Isengard:~/Fusion/Videos/Crossing Jordan/Temporada 1>
See? 'rm' doubts and asks. However, 'mc' doesn't ask and goes ahead, it happily deletes a file that is not mine.
I guess you own the directory.
I agree with Per, if you own the directory and have write perms to it you can delete any file there. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
