Note, this is for the latest 7.x-2.x dev code in git.

- I can login via "vagrant ssh" (so I'm logged in as 'vagrant'), and cd to /var/www/aegir/platforms. If I try "drush dl drupal", I get the error 

Unable to download drupal-7.15.tar.gz to /tmp/drush_tmp_1345116806 from                  [error]
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.15.tar.gz

. The same problem occurs if I login to the box via "drush vsh". Trying to use wget to download Drupal also fails: Cannot write to "drupal-7.15.tar.gz" (Permission denied).

- I've mounted a shared folder in my VirtualBox (I'm on Mac OS Mountain Lion), by setting up the shared folder in VirtualBox and then running the command sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 mysite /mnt/share/mysite. I then try to create a platform with this directory, but Aegir returns the error: Drupal sites directory /mnt/share/mysite/docroot/sites is not writable by the provisioning script

I've tried chown -R aegir:aegir /mnt/share/mysite/* without success. Any ideas?

Also, I've tried switching to the aegir user but it's not clear to me what the password is?

Thanks for all your work on this project!

Ok, mounting the directory with uid=1112,gid=1114 fixed the issue with permissions.

But "drush dl drupal" in /var/aegir/platforms doesn't work. Any ideas?

What OS are your running?

IIRC, the aegir user doesn't have a password. You can become the aegir user by first becoming root:

$ sudo su
# su aegir -s /bin/bash
