Create a file with permission of 444 (read-only) file. 2. Open the file using emacs. Question. My emacs open the read-only file as writable buffer. Mine doesn't. Also, I can modify it and save it. (AMAZING, emacs IGNORES unix file system. WOW.) Sounds like a bug. Please report it by doing M-x report-emacs-bug RET. Also be sure to read (info "(emacs)Bugs"). --
