Maybe my setup is different (Debian woody) but I have found that even if root creates and sets permissions on the file to be read-only by everybody but root, the owner of the home directory (that the file is in) can change the permissions to whatever he/she wants. I would sure like to know if there is a way around this w/o doing the user/group thing.

Hey *, 1) You can create the sym link as root, then the user can't remove it or 2) You can simply make the prefs.js file immutible using chattr +i Also, you probably want to set the number of backup prefs files to 0.
