I have a file that doesn't have owner and group and hence I can not
delete it. Could somebody let me know how to delete it?
office@office-PC /tmp
$ ll
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ???????? 0 2009-11-28 10:12 foo.sh
office@office-PC /tmp
$ chown office foo.sh
chown: changing ownership of `foo.sh': Permission denied
office@office-PC /tmp
$ rm foo.sh
rm: remove write-protected regular empty file `foo.sh'? y
rm: cannot remove `foo.sh': Permission denied
