Right; the "standard" permissions we recommend are 644 for files and 755 for dirs. The owner/group should be root/wheel. Minimally, your kext (all files & dirs) must be owned by root and may not be writable by any user other than root. Obviously, to be read by the kext loading system they need to be readable by root, but should also be readable by non-root users in order for Finder and AppleSystemProfiler to be able to present them in the GUI.

The next major release of OS X (and so the next major release of Darwin I suppose) thinks that the following privileges are bad : .kext folder: drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin Contents folder: drwxrwxr-x 6 root admin Info.plist file: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin Mac OS folder: drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin binary: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin At least that's what kextload -tv is saying. So what are the correct privileges supposed to be?
