Netware had excellent controls in this regard and Linux is moving in a direction that these types of controls will be easier to enforce. David has already given you some good advice. Thought i'd just mention that there is another hackish option which is not ideal but doesn't require a new kernel. You can create another filesystem that contains only symbolic links to the directory structure in question. Mounting this symbolic-link filled filesystem read only will protect the links from alteration (also preventing them from being moved accidentally) but still allow the directory content they reference to be modified. This filesystem can be created in a file and mounted via a loopback device so another drive isn't required. Most of this can be automated via scripts so that it doesn't require much administration.
