after setting a file with chflags to 'schg', you can not unset ('noschg') it in multiuser mode. you must boot the system into single user mode to make changes to the file. example in multiuser: styx ~ #touch foo styx ~ #chflags schg foo styx ~ #chflags noschg foo chflags: foo: Operation not permitted How-To-Repeat: 1) create a file 2) chflags schg <filename> 3) chflags noschg <filename> step 3 should produce the error
