The last spare FF flag bit is now used for the new non-inheritable flag
no_delete_or_rename. This is a combination of what Netware calls delete_inhibit
and rename_inhibit.

The flag has to be non-inheritable for obvious reasons: If it was, all dirs and
files below would by default inherit it and thus be unusable for many purposes.

Does this flag come nearer to your ideas?
