/usr/local/bin is owned by root with permissions 755, so as a user I cannot put a script in there.
I can change the ownership, but every time after a reboot it is owned by root again, with permissions 755.
How often are you putting new files there, or editing what's already there? For close to two decades, I've been getting by just fine making changes there using root authority, and leaving the directory perms at their defaults.
Does anyone know where this is set, and/or how I can make /usr/local/bin permanently make writable for a user?

There may be a pointer somewhere in /usr/etc/permission* to the possible existence of /etc/permissions.local. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
