With the attached example I've got a word for you: LSM (lsm.immunix.org). You 
have to write a kernel module which use lsm-provided hooks do deny operations 
like that if the user is not allowed. 

I don't think denying a user from deleting a own file is a good idea however 
(IMHO, of course).

Sorry but I'm a bit confused. A user has already performed the login phase so 
your kernel *knows* who he is and current->uid tells in every moment you 
need. I think you could play wisely with file permission and group division 
then you could write an lsm module to enforce your policies.

Ciao ciao
