Adrian ,

What are you using to inspect/repair Permissions ?

I have run Disk Utility version on my G4 OSX 10.4.8
and also have run Disk Warrior to repair permissions ( Correct version for the OSX ... allegedly ...)
and found discrepancies between the two

I now make a practice of using only the Disk Utility version for the version of OSX , but I have also used Yasu without a problem .. Must have the correct version of Yasu !

Cheers

Bob

PS : Make sure your Home Folder's are backed up right now in case you are in trouble !

I doesn't matter how often I run it these are always there. Get the same result/behaviour on G5 iMac and Intel MacBook both running Leopard.

Anyone have a clue on this?
