- Richard,
- I know that Novell claims that the files can only be deleted once
- they are flag execute only but I think there is a bug. If you delete
- an EXECUTE only file it can be then be salvaged and the EXECUTE only
- flag is removed. I was real suprised when I discovered this. It is
- a bug in what I was assuming was a safe way to protect an individual
- file.
