Yes, on my local machine I have r/w, others read-only.

I use Dreamweaver, so somehow, between my OS X Server and my dev.  
machine, the permission changes on the OWNER to r/w. Perhaps the Mac  
automatically gives r/w to the user if he's the admin of the machine?

Here's another interesting tidbit: I looked at a random document in my  
users/Documents folder, and it was set to r/w across the board. So...  
that makes me think that OS X Server is smart enough to make all files  
read-only while they're in the proper place on the server.
