[Sunhelp] Silly Doubt

[Kalusniak, Jeff]

Does the file say the OWNER is root:other or is that the owner AND group?

What are the file permissions?

Hi Admins,
          I have ran out of memeory here...I am facing a peculiar problem
here. It's a Solaris 2.6 box, in a users home directory there's file owned
by root:other. The user does'nt want them so when I went to delete it it
says not owner!!. I tried rm -f even that said not owner. Then I tried
changing the ownership to the user even then it said not owner.

Even though it's silly,it's killing me. Am I overlooking something?.
Request your help in getting a solution to this irritant.

Thanks,
Balaji
