I think the original problem was to prevent rm to a file with ugo+rwx
permissions(OP can correct me if that is not wrong). In response to that
I'd suggested that the OP think about the problem differently and NOT give
777 permisions to the file but give only selected users rm permissions to
the file via sudo.

Having differnt paths and binaries is not foolproof method to prevent
delete from all users for 777 files. Most users can find out /bin/rm

Of course the obvious question that one has to ask is why does the file
permissions need to be 777? Does something like ACLs not solve the problem
of sharing?

Aseem.
