Repairing permissions, generally speaking, is useful for fixing issues caused by bad installers. It's a good idea to run a permissions repair after software installations (Drag installs don't count as they don't affect any filesystem permissions). Unless you're in the habit of installing software daily, you don't need to repair permissions. -Remo Del Bello -- "Aren't we forgetting the true meaning of Christmas?
