hi there,
i think the following example shows the problem better than a long explanation:
`touch ftest && chflags arch ftest && chflags -vv 0 ftest`.
^^non-root ^^root ^^non-root
chflags claims to have cleared the 'arch' flag (which should be impossible as
non-root user), but indeed has done nothing.
i've tried the same with 'sappnd' and that works as can be expected.
The issue was confirmed to exist in HEAD (me), stable/8 (pgollucc1, jpaetzel)
and stable/7 (nox).
On stable/6 it does NOT exist (jpaetzel). chflags properly fails with EPERM.
cheers.
