Alastair,
Thanks for your input.
The problem was that the entries had forward slashes in them, telling the
system they were directories, yet rmdir didn't see them as valid, so nobody
wanted to take responsibility for them.
Several runs through fsck (yeah, go figure) converted the "/" characters

Yes, naturally I've tried all options of rm as documented in rm --help

Also true of rmdir.
Yes I want to remove it because during the boot process I'm told there
are bad characters in the file name.
The two rogue files was originally here:

Cheers, Leonard,
Yeah, I was looking at that too. Turns out the kill-file didn't have any
more executive privilege than rm ! And frustratingly, the rmdir is not
implemented yet!
Anyhow, I ran fsck again from insidethe debug shell, and this time it fixed
things. Running fsck changed /setiold//v

Have a look at debugfs (in e2fsprogs). I have no experience using it but the
kill_file command sounds promising.
Bye,
Leonard.

Thanks Fred, but as I said, rm doesn't work - even with the -f switch and
escaping the forward slash(es).
I don't think the C code will work - isn't that just what rm tries to do?
If I do a rm -f "/dev/log" it just ignores me.
If I do a rm -f -d "/dev/log" it ignores me.
If I go one level higher

Help, please,
As a result of an unclean shutdown, I have some rogue files on my 7.2
installation, which are preventing a complete boot up.
Somehow I have files called "/dev/log" and "/var/loc" in a director in
/var/log.
Yes, the files have the forward slashes in them, and the OS is all
confuse
