Maybe not on a 'real' NT4 server, but I should have mentioned our PDC is
actually an AS/U PDC (Advanced Server for Unix) running on an HP-UX server.
HP's AS/U interprets the read-only attribute to actual "read-only" access
permissions on the directory (unix permissions: dr-xr-xr-x), which do not
allow adding files to it.
So apparently HP's AS/U isn't 100% 'NT4 compatible' (altough it was sold as
such), but the fact remains that MS simply decided to change the
signification of the read-only attribute.
