Therefore, if you are providing files to be used simply as read only templates, they should be stored in AFS in a manner that indicates to the AFS client that they are in fact readonly so that the cache manager knows it is safe to fake the locks locally.
One small question. Historically, in virtually all DOS/Win PC networking environments, the file attribute "r" was also recognized by applications as meaning "read-only" (whole file), even if it is just "advisory" to the network client. What does AFS do in this situation, if anything at all, or is that still the applications responsibility to recognize the "r" attribute?
