Hello,

after many months of reading bugtraq this is my first posting. :-)
If I remember this thread exactly: IMHO nobody mentioned the type of the
FS on which /Users/stereo/Desktop is created.
Is it possible that /Users/stereo/Desktop has mode 777 only on HFS+ ?

Hi,

It may be related to HFS+ but as far as I can say all HFS+ install won't
demonstrate such a problem. More than just a permission weirdness, the real
point is that file permission seems really inconsistent in MacOSX.

Several users already reported being unable to write in /Applications/ even
with admin account.
Sounds like pax installer used to design .pkg has something to do with this
behavior.
