[Xastir] D700 Connection

[Keith Kaiser]

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.
