Hi,

Yum upgrade doesn't do anything.

I tried to install manually procps like this :

- Downloading the latest procps update on a mirror site (ESAT)
- su
- password for root
- rpm -i procps-"version"

Here, I have an error telling me that /bin/ps cannot be renamed because 
I don't have the permissions

Well :
- cd /bin
- "ls ps" returns ps in mode 555
- chmod 755 ps

Here I have an error :
I don't have the permission to change permissions of "/bin/ps"

How is it possible because I am logged as root ?
What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you for any help,

Jean LEE
