On the subject of protecting files from innocent but dangerous users, a
partial solution would be to set the lock (and perhaps protect) bits, and
then use ResEdit to move out of reach the "Locked" check box in the Finder's
"Get Info" dialog.  This doesn't make the file anything like secure, but, at
least for applications, should prevent most accidental tampering.
