connected my iBook to a network at a hotel and used safari to surf the interet.

I have found that somehow two aliases were added to my hard drive.

1 on /
and 1 in /Network/Servers

both aliases are owned by system so I could not delete them

I was able to delete the one in / by activating the root account and deleting it logged in as root

However, I can't find a way to remove the one in /Network/Servers

ls -l
shows

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 512 Jul 17 14:29 1440host70.starwoodbroadband.com -> /

I have tried unalias and chown logged in as root, but i still can't get rid of it. (can't change the owner)

Any thoughs would be apreciated.
