This is how it works. When you run Repair Permission, the command first go to Receipt directory on your running OS to gather information. Among them, a database of permission bits, then compare against the target. If you run against different OS version, it will try to match wrong permission bit because the reference is in wrong version, and usually it will cause a severe problem. This has been always true with OSX. However, permission business has been vastly improved since Tiger. I haven't seen any critical permission problem on any of my machines. -- - 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
