PS2: Does the K5 support the chattr command?
just try:
touch /var/local/something_new
chattr +i /var/local/something_new
if you have lsattr available, then
lsattr /var/local/something_new
should list the 'i' attribute.
To get rid of it again:
chattr -i /var/local/something_new
rm /var/local/something_new
