    Hi all,
    1. Create a file with permission of 444 (read-only) file.
    2. Open the file using emacs.

    Question.

    My emacs open the read-only file as writable buffer. 

Mine doesn't.
                                                         
    Also, I can modify it and save it. (AMAZING, emacs IGNORES unix
    file system. WOW.)

Sounds like a bug.  Please report it by doing M-x report-emacs-bug
RET.  Also be sure to read (info "(emacs)Bugs").
