In the FreeBSD handbook when it talks about the file flags permissions it
says:
"These flags add an additional level of security and control over files, but
not directories."
Well, I am able to put file flags in directories as well.
If I do:
mkdir curric
chflags uchange curric
It works well and then I can't modify the contents of the directory. So it
works flawlessly. Anybody knows that everything in Unix is a file, so flags
can be applied to anything. So, the handbook is wrong in this aspect, isn't
it?
