Tell them not to delete them. :-)
Technically, there is no way. If you can write to the file,
you can effectively delete it. Well, you could make them
append-only (see ``man chflags'') and raise the secure-level
(see ``man init''), but bash probably doesn't like this,
because it wants to overwrite the file.

Oliver
