A formatting note for your post: you managed to wrap your code in code tags, but not the directory listing; the preview should have shown you that. The latter part of your post should like this:

These are the permissions on the original directories:

ls -ld /usr
drwxr-xr-x 54  root sys  69 Apr  9 2018 /usr 
ls -ld /usr/include
drwxr-xr-x 117 root bin 436 Sep 25 22:10 /usr/include
ls -ld /usr/include/sys
drwxr-xr-x 25  root bin 628 Sep 25 22:09 /usr/include/sys
[download]

ls -ld usr
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   512 Jan 20 13:06 usr
ls -ld usr/include
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   512 Jan 20 13:06 usr/include
ls -ld usr/include/sys
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 11776 Jan 20 13:07 usr/include/sys

Do you see how this makes your question clearer?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
