I'm not sure that is true:
my setup:

drwxrwxr-x 20 root admin 680 12 Sep 15:14 local
this works:
maibaumm:/Users/maibaumm
→ touch /usr/local/blah
I'm reasonably sure that OS X does use admin as it's primary 'Admin'
group. This isn't a perfect check as I'm at work and I've got lots of
AD derived groups complicating things...
Yeah, when I received this system it was all about the admin group.
The permissions you have above Michael are the ones that I want to use, but the
problem I'm seeing is that unless the group is the first one listed in the
output of 'id' or 'groups' (i.e., my personal group) I can't write to the
directory. It doesn't matter what group I try other than the first, the result
is still the same.
Have you tried doing a “Repair Permissions” on the disk?
Yes, as well as booting into recovery and doing the verify and check
operations. Thank you for the response in any case. :)
