Re: deny deleting a file for users

An easier solution would be to simply create a hard link to the file... eg:
ln /home/usr1/nsmail /home/nodel/nsmail

You would then need an occasional cron job to manage files that had been reduced to a link count of one. (including recreating the link).

If you want to get real creative, you could set up sendmail so that it checked for the existence of a user's nsmail file every time a message got delivered for them by creating a wrapper around the local delivery program.
