Kinda help to post the OS.
There are several "linuxes"  Red Hat, Slackware, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake,
Caldera, Corel, Yellow Lab, Black Lab, WinLinux, PhatLinux, Linux On A
Floppy, slinux, Trinux, (Rock, Armed, Stampede, Tiny. Power, Coyote) Linux

Well if you are using Redhat or Mandrake use 
linuxconf
to set the protection on the file.
