Re: chflags command

Hello,

quick question:

I'm some intructions i was reading it syggests to lock afile using the
chflags command. I went to the man page for the chflags command and it
is unclear as to how to lock a file. Can anyone clarify how to do this?

chflags uchg <name of file>

Will lock the file so that only root can unlock it.

chflags schg <name of file>

Will lock the file so that it can only be unlocked IN SINGLE USER MODE - be careful with this one!

Use "ls -lo" to view the flags on a file, nouchg or noschg to unlock it.

Cheers,

Many thanks,

Colin
