Problem.
When I created the first user USER1 on a fresh installation of OS X (10.5.5), I chose to let him be an Administrator.

After installing all the applications and performing the general tuning of the system, I created a new user USER2 for administrative tasks and downgraded USER1 to 'Standard' user.

The result is that USER1 now can still modify the /Applications folder. He can create new folders or copy new applications in there.

This is the output of the 'id' command on USER1:
uid=501(USER1) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),98(_lpadmin),103(com.apple.access_screensharing),104(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2),101(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),102(com.apple.access_ssh)

I performed a "Repair disk permissions" but nothing changed.

What am I missing?
