Would that fix mean that the no-setuid, no-exec and other flags will 
work as well?

   read-only filesystem status.  No biggy (we already do this for 
   directories to maintain the CD path), but it may take a few days to
   fix.

:Hello,
:
:A few experiments on 1.5 nullfs showed that it ignores the read-only flag:
:
:/mnt: mkdir 1 2
:/mnt: mount_null -o ro /mnt/1 /mnt/2
:/mnt: mount
:..
:/mnt/1 on /mnt/2 (null, local, read-only)
:/mnt: cd /mnt/1
:/mnt/1: echo > k
:/mnt/1: cd /mnt/2
:/mnt/2: rm k
:/mnt/2: ls
:/mnt/2: cd /mnt/1
:/mnt/1: ls -ltr
:total 0
:/mnt/1:

:I could delete a file on a read-only filesystem. Oops.
