I have noticed that on Leopard, directories such as /usr/bin and /usr/
local are set read & write permissions for Admin accounts.
On my own Tiger, this is not the case, I am curious if they should be
writeable by Admins or the Admin group.
And more generally, is there a canonical list of the standard/default
permissions on directories & files in OS X anywhere?
If there is not such a list, perhaps we should have one as a
reference to facilitate programmers maintaining the integrity of the
permissions and ACLs on things whenever & wherever possible or
appropriate. In addition, such a guide might help to avoid
permissions escalation security risks.
