Dear users, I'm astonished by this (maybe I'm naive and I'm missing something).
Yesterday as root I saved a file skel.bashrc in my /home/beco user, owned by root, group root. Today I edited it, logged as beco, and vi told me "warning, read only!". I edited anyway, just to test, and saved with :w! After that I checked the file and it has changed to owner beco, group beco. How is that possible?
