This is really useful for dealing with buggy or badly-designed things running as root. I've used to to protect /dev/null from becoming a normal file filled with junk, and to protect /etc/resolv.conf from "helpful" network management daemons that don't know my DNS servers. Anything else missing? BTW, BSD offers an unprivileged immutable bit as well. I'm sure it's useful for the apps that trash their own config files. Actually, this bit alone would do fine, and we could really use a way to protect writable device files from deletion or permission bit changes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
