Exactly

>Anyways, one thing is strange: As admin, I can't upload to or delete files
in those system critical directories (such as

Odd. Never tried it. I think it's probably a good idea, when messing around
with system and config files, to always switch to geek mode and telnet in,
so that you navigate, create, and edit from the shell. If nothing else, it
puts you in the right attitude, so that you habitually pay attention to
ownership, permissions, etc.
