 Bruce,
 
 I concur with your analysis of what should be done here. Disallow
 manipulation of UF_ flags in ext2 and restrict SF_ flags to appropriate
 priviledge as is done in both FreeBSD and Linux. The only debate is
 whether to enforce FreeBSD securelevel for ext2 which I would be
 inclined to do.
