Not good
Authored by: kholburn on May 29, '06 04:28:11PM
The simplest way to check if a directory is writable is to try writing in it:

touch /path/to/directory
then check the file is there:

ls -l /file.name
Then to fix:

chmod ux+w /path/to/directory
Setting a directory to 777 is a bad idea. All that said running Disk Utility "fix Permissions" before all this would be a good idea.
