 made a file write protected. See this:

 katzes:/etc# ls -al resolv.conf
 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 51 2007-05-21 11:39 resolv.conf


 It has this content: 

 GNU nano 2.0.2                             Datei: resolv.conf

 nameserver 194.97.173.125
 nameserver 192.168.1.254


 Then I changed the content: 

   GNU nano 2.0.2                             Datei: resolv.conf

   nameserver 194.97.173.125

                                                       means "3 lines
