Thanks, as always, to those who replied. Maybe I did not clearly explain my original posting well enough, but most of the answers gave me the basic operations to perform (ie chmod 777 /us/lib/macros, rm -R /usr/lib/macros,etc.) Unfortunately, I tried all of these and many more prior to posting. As of yet I have not gotten a final answer to this problems. The best answer I received was to put the machine in single-user mode and try the operations form there. However, that will not be possible for quite some time as this is a production machine. I will post again once I get this resolved. Thanks MY ORIGINAL POST: I have a directory that appeared on my last reboot and is causing some problems for my backup software. The problem is a directory /usr/lib/macros, which has the permissions: dr-xr-xr-x root root 1 Sep 2 19:07 macros For some reason I cannot access, remove, change, cd, etc into this directory. Before you ask, yes I am root when trying this. I have tried and ls -l on the dir but cannot see it (permission denied), I have tried chmod -f, rm and ln -s /usr/lib/macros /tmp/macros but all not allowed me access the directory. Any ideas, or suggestions? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.aspReceived on Wed Sep 12 19:57:09 2001
