This is a weird one guys.
I did ls -lad /dev/lock the result is;
drwxr-xr-t 2 root wheel 68 Apr 9 21:25 /var/lock
Which is a little different than yours, I have a - where you have an
x in the 6th position. What does that mean?
P.S.
I've been doing sudo.... thanks.

don't they have to be executable?
no, but they have to be writable. i don't have a 232/usb device to
check, but i think the permissions should be 666 (rw-rw-rw-). But
then again, that setuid xastir executable should take care of that.
my /var/lock looks like yours, so i think that's OK:
$ ls -lad /var/lock
drwxrwxr-x 2 root uucp 68 Mar 30 10:49 /var/lock
i thought I had done the setuid thing on /var/lock as well, but ls
says otherwise, and my xastir works just fine. the xastir isn't suid
root, either, so at a glance mine shouldn't work, but does.
in case you haven't hit this, on the mac you'll probably want to "sudo
cmd" for each of the commands Curt mentioned, instead of doing an su
first.
