I discovered this little feature using OS X 10.2.3. I have retested under 10.2.4 and it is still an issue. Give it a try. Try it with the file resident on Sun, MS, or Mac OS servers. While setting the share point to honor standard Unix file permissions _may_ give you a message that the file is open when you go to save, the majority of our customers use Windows file servers. On a Windows file server, the only application to give an open file message is Apple Works.
I have been working with a senior Apple Engineer on the Xserve project to get Apple to understand that in a multi-user / multi-platform environment, this is a dangerous feature.
