hi ganesan u could also try an option of putting all ur critical files on a read-only files system ( like a CD ) and making the system access these files (like knoppix) ....
when u need to change the files replace the old CD with the new one ... As Sthitaprajna said .... u have to get the security of the system tightened up .. no need to give the users root password ... refer to the site mentioned by him... --- Ganesan Kanavathy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have one incident last week that on my client PC > someone has deleted the > whole partition and the apache directory.
