Thanks for the extra ls -l command (so many flags, so little time!).

Unfortunately there aren't any. chflags -R 0 clears all of the chflags
on files. I always run that instead of running noschg nowadays on
directories like /usr/obj*, like buildworld does.

Hmm... didn't try it without -P. According to the manpage it should be
the default, but it wasn't when I ran it. That solved my issue with
the pjdfstest file, but not /usr/obj~.

Indeed :).

My kern.securelevel's unset :).

Thanks!
