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?

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
I'm sure I can make it happen. My problem is the rsync backup everynight
fails to delete this and other files like it saying 'Permission denied'.
So, I am assuming it is because of this issue. The rsync script logs in
as admin. How can I resolve this?

If you clear the immutable bit (as root), rsync (as admin) should be
able to remove the file as normal. You'll just have to figure out why
the files are immutable in the first place. You may just be able to
clear the immutable bit on all the files and make the problem go away or
you may need a more complex solution.
