Ken, thanks for the reply.
You're correct... This is SSH via a graphical client. They are non-technical
folks who need something simple. I'm just trying to protect any system files
from accidental deletion.
Is my question better stated, then, as how to prevent users from deleting
any of the directories they encounter? If that's the correct question, then
is my solution to set a read-only on any folders that I don't wish deleted?

Is it possible to keep users from proceeding up further in the hierarchy, by
chance?
