Hello all .. I ran into a strange problem while installing nethack on our Sun 3/60 ... it seems there are two files, perm and safelock, that are linked and shared between the users currently using nethack. When I first brought up nethack, these two files were directories. Apparently the original directory was hard linked to another directory, and now I can't delete either one. I found I could mv them with no problem, so I mv'ed one of them and nethack promply re-created it. So I renamed all three of these problem directories junk, junk1 and junk2, and have tried all the "normal" ways to get rid of them (rm, rmdir, rm -r, unlink). They all share the same i-node, so I did a clri to wipe out their i-node, but they are still around ... what should I do next?
