Howdy Group,

I'm trying to tighten up security on a RHEL 3 box I have and would like
to deny the chown'ing and chmod'ing of an entire directory. Is there a
way to tell sudo to NOT allow any changes to be made recursively on a
directory? Something like

/usr/sbin/chown *, !/usr/sbin/chown -R <directory>
?

TIA for any help,

Ray

Actually, I think I mis-stated what I'm really trying to do here. I'd
like to define an entire directory (and all subdirectories) as not
being able to be chown'd/chmod'd.

Is that possible?
