It's part of e2fsprogs. You're looking for "chattr" and "lsattr".
I use it here to set the immutable bit on all .rhost files of the
users that have access to multiple machines, so that they (or someone
masquerading as them) can't change their .rhosts file and login to
a private machine from a public machine without password.
