I guess this still holds, found it at Mac OS X Hidden Files & Directories

/usr/localAs in most unixes, this directory is used to store local customizations and additions to the standard OS installation (e.g. /usr/local/bin would be likely to hold unix binaries added by the system administrator). This directory can be thought of roughly as the unix equivalent of Mac OS X's local library. In the standard install of Mac OS X it is (not surprisingly) completely empty.
Note: As of OS X 10.2, these directories are no longer in the default search path for command-line executables; as a result, anything installed here will not be useable without taking extra steps of one sort or another.


I told a user to create a directory under /usr/local, -She told me that after she had typed the password for sudo, she typed some more!

Best regards
