Here, with Mandrake 9.1, I can create a directory in /root, copy a
text file into it, chmod both to 0, then (as root) cd into that
directory, and read the file.  I then deleted both file and directory
while the permissions were d--------- on the directory, and ----------
on the file.  I didn't try the -i flag using chattr, but I don't think
that would work either.
