It may be that FC 3 has chflags  like *BSD ? chflags can make some
files systems read only. You say that you have SE Linux installed so
it may have something similar. From the OpenBSD man page for chflags:

DESCRIPTION
     The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed files as speci-
     fied by the flags operand.  The flags of a file dictate special restric-
     tions beyond those enforced by its mode/permissions.

           schg    set the system immutable flag (superuser only)
           uappnd  set the user append-only flag (owner or superuser only)
           uchg    set the user immutable flag (owner or superuser only)
