> Maybe you could create a file without read permission (000) and try > to read from it. I just checked. If I don't have read permissions, I am not able to open the file. When I open a file and change permissions afterwards, I can read the complete file alright. (Checked with a 4mb file, I hope that's beyond buffering.) So I guess permissions are only checked when you open the file.
