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.
Hi Adrian,
There are lots of people experiencing this with Repair Permissions in
Leopard.
There is nothing wrong with our G5 or Macbook, it's just Leopard.
Lots of discussions about it on Apple's Leopard Support Discussions .
One such answer below:
"Neither the warning about the SUID file nor the declarations about
the ACL (Access Control List) status are of any meaning to us, the
normal user, at all. I suppose they might be of some faint interest to
some programmers at Apple, but for the end user they don't signify a
thing. Everyone will get them. Nothing is "wrong" with your system.
Apple has changed (again) the way Disk Utility behaves. It seems to go
thru phases: tells us things we don't need to know, and can't do
anything about, gets fixed, then gets all chatty again. It's in an
excessively chatty phase with Leopard."
Cheers,
Ronni
