Gerald, Richard,

  Negative - this was a discussion a few "weeks" back.  Anything that is "in" 
or "under" the users directory structure _can_ be deleted by that user - only 
option is to use chattr (change secondary file attributes) to change the file 
and set the "no delete" bit.  The no one can delete it until "root" changes 
the attributes again....
