Ken, thanks for the reply. You're correct... This is SSH via a graphical client. They are non-technical folks who need something simple. I'm just trying to protect any system files from accidental deletion.
Is my question better stated, then, as how to prevent users from deleting any of the directories they encounter? If that's the correct question, then is my solution to set a read-only on any folders that I don't wish deleted? > something : system directories show up if you go too far up the > hierarchy, but permissions should prevent you writing in them. Is it possible to keep users from proceeding up further in the hierarchy, by chance? - Eve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
