Use it like this: chattr +i filename To reverse it: chattr -i filename It’s perfect for protecting system files or critical configs from accidental changes. Check attributes with: lsattr filename Note: Only works on ext-based filesystems and requires root access. Use wisely to keep your Linux environment safe and stable. Best Regards, N I Rimon
