Linux has an attribute setting called "immutable", which locks a file so that even root cannot change or delete it. I use this to lock down my music collection so that hackers, networked Windows boxes, grandchildren, cats walking on keyboards, and even my own fumbling can't mess with my music. I only unlock the collection when I'm adding or changing something. Run the commands from root or sudo.
the command to lock is: chattr +i -R /path/to/music to unlock: chattr -i -R /path/to/music -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26120 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
