OK this is that readout (su root) of /usr/local/bin:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Feb 9 12:51 bin
I am definitely as root:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
Trying this:
> touch foo; ln -sf foo /usr/local/bin/
Results in this:
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/local/bin/foo' to `foo': Operation not
permitted
I'm tearing my hair out over this. Surely as root I can do any thing I
want. Which is what "drwxr-xr-x" also tells me.
Thanks
