Dave,
Just so as to obviate any confusion about this issue. The "chmod"
command is used to change file permissions or make a file executeable,
or !executeable. This is usually done by entering the "chmod" command
and an octal number as a switch giving us the desired file permissions
based on our umask.
File attributes are a bit different: we use a "chattr" command with the
desired switch to add a extra level of security to files or directories.
Try a man on "chattr", and I think this will be a bit clearer to you. We
can also do a "lsattr" command to least file attributes. As a matter of
fact, you could go to a file, any file, created on your ReiserFS, and
run the command "lsattr" on that file, and let me know what you see.
Thanks for your help,
drjung
