Here is my last build of Xastir, maybe something will leap out at you
guys.

I did ls -lad /dev/lock the result is;

Which is a little different than yours, I have a - where you have
an x in the
6th position. What does that mean?
Separate it out like this:
d rwx r-x r-t
The first means it's a directory. The other three groups are the
read/write/execute permissions for each of three groups:
Owner rwx
Group r-x
Other r-t (or r-x)
Here's where it gets a bit strange: In the case of a directory the
'x' means you can change into the directory, it doesn't mean execute
permission like it does on a file.
Another weirdness: Other flags sometimes appear in the 'x'
position, like 't', 'g', etc. The 't' is a "sticky" flag. On my
system it appears as a 'T' if the 'x' flag is not set, and a 't' is
the 'x' flag _is_ set. Hard to keep track of isn't it?
You're probably good here with either a 't' or an 'x' in that last
position for this case.
