Thanks, Corinna,

Yes, I receive "chmod: changing permissions of `foo': Permission
denied" when executing chmod 444 foo.

Here is a set of commands, more than you asked for, but which may be
helpful.  The chmod.trace file was "sanitized" to remove any personal
identifying info and is attached.


Xufai3iF@server ~>set -x ; rm foo ; ls -l foo ; touch foo ; chmod 444
foo ; ls -l foo ; touch foo ; strace -o chmod.trace chmod 444 foo ;
set +x
+ rm -i foo
rm: remove regular empty file `foo'? y
+ ls -l foo
ls: cannot access foo: No such file or directory
+ touch foo
+ chmod 444 foo
chmod: changing permissions of `foo': Permission denied
+ ls -l foo

+ touch foo
+ strace -o chmod.trace chmod 444 foo
+ set +x
