Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Paparazzi Install on OSX Lion

[Chris Wozny]

Bernie,

The permissions don't seem to be the issue since after adding write
permission to user didn't fix it. I searched for what the 't' was and
this is what came up:

"The ‘d’ stands for directory, for normal files this will be a ‘-’.
Next we have the 3 permissions for owning user (root) ‘rwx’, then the
3 for group (root) ‘rwx’ and then the 3 for other users ‘rwt’. So root
and owner have full permissions (in this case the owner is also root)
but all other users have almost full permissions but cannot modify the
directory itself."

So apparently users can't modify that directory...

It's strange that no one on OSX has seen this issue before since I
think all OSX users will see the RWT permission.
