Okay, i've got 10.6.3 now, and when i look at those two with Finder, i see no "custom" access:
system Read & Write
admin Read & Write
everyone Read only
Oh
wait, i see it now... above it says "You have custom access" -- Hmmm.
I guess they (Apple) mean i
don't **own** the item, therefore my access is via some other route.
[in this case, admin membership allows me to write (and anyone can read).]
LATE EDIT:
But it's not very consistent. Similar folders that i don't own say something different. The /Applications folder has virtually identical (POSIX) perms...
ls -led /Applications /Library/Application\ Support
drwxrwxr-x+ 53 root admin 1802 May 12 13:17 /Applications
 0: group:everyone deny delete
drwxrwxr-x 31 root admin 1054 May 5 22:22 /Library/Application Support
...but its info window says: "You can read and write"
Actually, as i play around a bit (including using the Inspector via command-option-i), sometimes the info window for that
/Library/Application Support folder also says "You can read and write" instead.
Bah —when it comes to permissions, etc., — i don't rely on (or trust in) Finder's info windows.
