If you are doing this on the home folder why would you need 'sudo'?
That has nothing to do with my question. (?)
During the process of trying to import and get some old SSH keys working correctly I accidently changed the permissions on my home directory. There are several symptoms you'll see if the permissions are wrong in your user folder such as:
If you're browsing to your home folder using Finder and get a message like 'The folder "username" could not be opened because you do not have sufficent access privileges'
When trying to access your home folder in a terminal, you keep getting redirected back to /
If you can't access your home directory in Mac OS it makes sense to do it the way I have.
Now that we have that out of the way - why is wheel present?
Thanks.
