Make sure /Library/Keychains/System.keychain has correct permissions set.

Here is default permissions for /Library/Keychains folder on my Mac:

drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 306 10 Jul 20:03 Keychains

and default permissions for /Library/Keychains/System.keychain

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 124000 7 Jul 05:38 System.keychain

Also check permissions for your user keychain folder, mine are for the folder ~/Library/Keychains/:

drwxr-xr-x 9 username staff 306 10 Jul 21:49 Keychains

and the user keychains itself:

drwx------ 7 username staff 238 25 Mar 13:36 A2676C22-A84E-5B3D-8711-0264BC3C8B96 -rw-r--r-- 1 username staff 277 21 Mar 07:28 E41FE5C0-3020-48C9-8829-344FF3E86407

Here is the default permission for /var on my Mac.

lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 14 Jan 15:39 var -> private/var

Here are the default permissions for everything inside of my /var folder.

drwx------ 2 root wheel 68 24 Oct 2015 agentx drwxr-xr-x 8 daemon wheel 272 14 Jan 13:00 at drwx------ 7107 root wheel 241638 10 Jul 20:03 audit drwx------ 2 root wheel 68 16 Sep 2015 backups drwxr-xr-x 77 root wheel 2618 10 Jul 20:03 db drwxr-x--- 3 _dovecot mail 102 9 Mar 12:12 dovecot drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 68 16 Sep 2015 empty drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 4 Jun 10:47 folders drwxr-x--- 3 _jabber _jabber 102 9 Mar 12:12 jabberd drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 1 Aug 2015 lib drwxr-xr-x 106 root wheel 3604 10 Jul 20:03 log drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 68 16 Sep 2015 mail drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Sep 2015 msgs drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 68 16 Sep 2015 netboot drwxr-xr-x 5 _networkd _networkd 170 25 Mar 18:36 networkd drwxrwxr-x 2 _postgres _postgres 68 27 May 09:22 pgsql_socket drwxr-x--- 6 root wheel 204 27 May 09:22 root drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 24 Oct 2015 rpc drwxrwxr-x 49 root daemon 1666 10 Jul 21:29 run drwxr-xr-x 2 daemon wheel 68 16 Sep 2015 rwho drwxr-xr-x 37 root wheel 1258 10 Jul 21:29 servermgrd drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 14 Jan 13:01 spool drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 544 10 Jul 21:29 tmp drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 10 Jul 20:32 vm drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 16 Sep 2015 yp
