Further:

	[root@...romeda ~]# touch /tmp/foo
	[root@...romeda ~]# chmod 0444 /tmp/foo
	[root@...romeda ~]# ls -l /tmp/foo
	-r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jan 31 00:17 /tmp/foo
	[root@...romeda ~]# echo hello >/tmp/foo
	[root@...romeda ~]# ls -l /tmp/foo
	-r--r--r--. 1 root root 6 Jan 31 00:17 /tmp/foo
	[root@...romeda ~]# 

But:

	[root@...romeda ~]# su - dhowells
	[dhowells@...romeda ~]$ touch /tmp/bar
	[dhowells@...romeda ~]$ chmod 0444 /tmp/bar
	[dhowells@...romeda ~]$ ls -l /tmp/bar
	-r--r--r--. 1 dhowells dhowells 0 Jan 31 00:19 /tmp/bar
	[dhowells@...romeda ~]$ echo hello >/tmp/bar
	-bash: /tmp/bar: Permission denied
