[NTLUG:Discuss] root can not edit hosts.deny file

[m m]

Hi All:

there is a weird (at least to me) thing happen on my RH 6.2 box.

I tried to edit the hosts.deny, and get not permission error.
check it with ls -l

-rw-r--r-- root root .... hosts.deny

of course I login as root.

I can't mv this file to other name either.

what's wrong? please help.

thanks.
