I have the problem, that I can't remove a file as root anymore, and I
don't know why. The file was replaced by a hacker.

root@host:/bin # ls -l ps
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13583 Feb 9 01:04 ps
root@host:/bin # rm ps
rm: remove `ps', overriding mode 0755? y
rm: ps: Operation not permitted
root@host:/bin # chmod 0700 ps
chmod: ps: Operation not permitted

Thanks for Help
