Here is the info from Apple in regards to the changes talked about in
this thread..
Folder Permissions and Ownership
A number of folders in the System and Local file system domains now
have different ownership and permissions. Specifically:
• Many folders in the System domain that were previously owned by the
admin group are now owned by the wheelgroup.
• Permissions for the root directory (/) are now mode 755 (writable
only by root) instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group).
• Permissions for /Applications/Utilities are now mode 755 (writable
only by root) instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group).
• Permissions for /Library are now mode 755 (writable only by root)
instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group), no longer sticky.
All subdirectories within /Library now have mode 755 (writable only by
root) permissions instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group)
except:
• /Library/Caches
• /Library/Fonts
• /Library/Java
• /Library/QuickTimeStreaming
• /Library/Receipts
• /Library/Tomcat
The subdirectories listed above have the same permissions as in
previous versions of Mac OS X (usually mode 775, sometimes with the
sticky bit set).
• Permissions for /Network/Applications and /Network/Library are now
mode 555 (unwritable even by root) instead of mode 755 (writable only
by root).
• Permissions for /var/log/DiagnosticMessages are slightly more lax,
with mode 770 (writable by the admin group, unreadable by non-admin
users) instead of mode 750 (writable only by root, unreadable by non-
admin users).
