Hi,
you might want to look into "chattr" i know you can set a few options to make sure they can't modify or remove a file.
check the manpage for chattr :)

This sounds like a Unix feature, not a bug. If the user has write rights to the directory, he can delete anything in the directory no matter who owns the file.
Oh, well, now that you say it I remember that remotely from "Unix school". I'd completely phased that out.
Is there a way to achieve different behavior without using acl extensions? My objective is that I want users *not* to be able to delete certain files/directories in their home directories. It seems I can achieve this partly by putting files in a directory they don't own. They then cannot delete the files in the directory and therefore cannot delete the directory. As soon as the directory is empty they can delete it.
