SubjectRe: unremovable files and possible fs corruption (2.1.123)
In article <199810102001.QAA13869@jupiter.cs.uml.edu> you write:

>> Actually, UFS's two immutable flags (immutable and append-only)
>> exactly correspond to the two immutable flags we have in ext2fs.

>No way. UFS has two immutable flags, period. It also two append-only
>flags. See the BSD stat.h excerpt below.

Not only that, but with secure levels, the super-user flags can't be
set unless you've rebooted single-user...

Allowing to change them from under linux without some corresponding
secure mechanism would mean that you couldn't trust these flags, and
the corresponding log files/bsd password files as well...
