Hi Pat, > Ever since, when I use Disk Utility to repair permissions, dozens of entries > needing repair come up.
If the permissions appear as "should be ..., they are lrwxrwxrwx", these permissions do NOT need to be repaired despite what Disk Utility tells you. The critical thing to note is that the permissions start with the letter 'l', e.g. 'lrwx...' and are merely cross-references (symbolic links) to other paths. This bug in the repair_packages utility (underlying Disk Utility) and is fixed in Snow Leopard. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 James -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
