A read-only mount doesn't help if it can be re-mounted writeable. If the files *have* to be in the same directory with writeable files (as for many systems is true of /etc), schg can be a very good solution. If the files aren't part of the standard system at all, then as someone else suggested, write-only media are an easy answer.
