Thanks, Paul.

This is really important. I looked around to see whether the mutt is alone, but
I found following on my Nevada build 126:

$ ls -la /usr/bin/|grep ^-.-|wc -l
1242
$ ls -la /usr/bin/|grep ^-.w|wc -l
663
$

So it seems it is about 2:1 (read only vs. read/write) :-).

I compared with some Linux distribution and I found that there is less than 5 %
files with read only. Everything else is rw.


Is there any recommendation/standard for Solaris?
