Yeah, I don't know why they get mixed up either, given that OS X is so super-stable and all, but it seems they do.
See "Tutorial: Permissions, Accounts, and File Organization" <http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20040107175410865>
I read it, but it stops exactly where my knowledge does; as I mentioned, I know about Unix permissions, but I never had to repair them in any Unix/Linux/BSD machines I've been working on. I am still curious as to why you have to do it on Mac OS X.
