Hi,

first thanks for all those who participated in the port! Being able to 
run VirtualBox on FreeBSD is really cool!

Well, I have one slight Problem, however, with VirtualBox on FreeBSD; 
tried both the SVN-Version (since it's first days when it didn't work on 
amd64, updating it each time Martin announced some good news) and the 
virtualbox_5.tgz (to make sure it's not an "unsupported" SVN-Version 
that's causing the trouble):

The /usr/local/lib/virtualbox Directory is being created root:wheel with 
Mode 700.

[bash]beaster:~$ls -lad /usr/local/lib/virtualbox
drwx------  2 root  wheel  512 27 Mai 18:58 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox

The "make deinstall" really removes that Directory and "make reinstall" 
does create it;

/bin/mkdir -p 
/usr/local/bin                                                                               


The toor-Users umask is 0022, the root Users 22.

This happens on

7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Sat May 23 17:58:51 CEST 2009
amd64

As I'm the only one who runs into this problem it must be a local 
Problem; however, I have no Idea what the reason might be. Creating a 
Directory being root (or toor; to be sure I tried both) works fine and 
observes the umask

[-su]beaster:virtualbox$mkdir /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2
[-su]beaster:virtualbox$ls -lad /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 May 27 19:05 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2/

I hope I didn't overlook something in the Port's Docs; I only found 
"Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail" so I assume it's uspposed 
to work for non-root Users, too.

Does anyone have a hint? It's not too bad having to chmod 
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox, but creating with the correct permissions 
would really be nice :-)

Cheers,
