btw, other than that minor glitch, the box seems really nice to work with - only had to install virtualenv/pip, everything else was already there. :)

Just did a quick test, it works fine here with Vagrant 1.9.7 + VirtualBox 5.1.26.

$  vagrant status
Current machine states:

default                   running (virtualbox)

The VM is running. To stop this VM, you can run `vagrant halt` to
shut it down forcefully, or you can run `vagrant suspend` to simply
suspend the virtual machine. In either case, to restart it again,
simply run `vagrant up`.

Thanks for using the box (and your appreciation), it was created for my own learning and testing purpose, didn't expect it be reused by so many people ;-)

I suspect it works for you because you use shared folders and the permissions you see are part of the mounted filesystem. I use rsync for unidirectional sync host -> vm, so there is no fs mounted on /vagrant.
