Several more indeed.  Find comes to the rescue:

12087    0 drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root           40 Jan 10 22:40 /dev/shm
252744    0 drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root           72 Apr 20  2005 
/var/spool/samba

Yes, I CAN make files there, as a regular user.

No, that is also not true.  Just to satisfy everyone's curiosity, look at what
find comes up with:

1210021    0 drwxrwxr-x   2 lp       lp            416 Aug 26 16:44 
/usr/share/foo2zjs/crd
128775   21 drwxrwsr-x   4 root     portage     21968 Feb  8 10:58 
/usr/portage/distfiles

And I'm _only_ looking at directories now, not even files...

Well, no.  It is correct. How do you expect to install something when /usr is 
mounted RO ?
