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.
