I need a tutorial. Man pages are unsatisfactory. Sort of like giving

The file/directory permission, and the chmod command to set them are
very old. Any book on Unix or Linux should cover them. I remember
O'Reilly had several good books, but I cannot recommend any specific one
right now.
As for chattr, the suggestion someone else made to forget about it by
now is a good one. First get a good understanding of the basic
permission system.
I suspect at least attempting to understand the differing goals of chmod
and chattr could be valuable.
