System: Sun-3/280, SunOS 3.5 (BSD 4.2-derived I guess).
  I have some directories which are hard linked together.  I want to
get rid of one of the links.  How do I do it?  rm doesn't work ("not
removed"), rmdir doesn't work ("directory not empty", whether it is or
not), unlink doesn't work (EPERM).
  Basically:
    /usr/users/place1/directory  ... is hard linked to ...
    /usr/users/place2/directory
  and I can't get rid of either one (or both).
Help?  (Please E-mail if appropriate!)  Thanks in advance....
