Repair permission. In theory, you must run DiskUtil within it's boot volume to correct permission bit, and that's also what Apple tells you to do.
I then found there are some directories cannot be checked because they are in use. Make sense. AppleJack runs under SingleUser mode. It actually does much more checking than DiskUtil off booted OSX. Make sense. But I also found running DiskUtil off OSX installer CD also checks differently. I have seen some obscure permission bits on rather crucial pref file has been fixed only by running off the installer CD. Running off the installer CD is not legal because it won't have all the Receipts that have been installed after the initial installer. On the other hand, the Receipts on the OSX installer and the boot volume should be identical, according to Apple, as long as the single digit version matches, Panther to Panther, Jag to Jag. So, I run AppleJack before and after any installation, and run all three above when I encounter problem like JD has been experiencing. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
