Michael,
Yes, naturally I've tried all options of rm as documented in rm --help and man rm.
Also true of rmdir.


Yes I want to remove it because during the boot process I'm told there are bad characters in the file name.
The two rogue files was originally here:
/var/log/seti//dev/log
/var/log/seti//var/loc

============

Julian,


Check to see if there are any bad characters. To do that, type this

        cd /var/log/seti (or wherever the rouge files maybe)
        ls -rQ *
        
        (or)

ls -rb *

This will give an indication if there are any non-visable controle characters within the filename.

If there are, try deleteing using the characters that you do see.

        rm -i /dev/log*
        rm -i /var/loc*
