Is it advisable to set the various bits to make a file non-readable, non-
deleteable, etc?  Especially on the sys:c directory, some of the devs
directory's files, fonts, etc.

This would most likely protect against viruses, but do programs generally
require a certain status for some of these files?

Please reply via e-mail, and I'll post a summary if there is interest.
