I didn't mean to claim that Apple's installers repaired permissions. I was just pointing out that one of the jobs of the installer is to set the correct permission on anything it copies during the installation. Unless you have reason to suspect there are already other permission problems on the disk, I don't see any reason to mess with it. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be August 25.
