While doing some development, I found out that read-only files are not treated as read-only on a 2.x NFS server. Nate did some poking around (he has a Solaris box he can use as a server, which makes a good control), and found:

I don't have any 3.x systems where I am right now, either. So... given all of the NFS changes that were done... was this one of the things that got fixed?
