You will most likely see a very long list of messages after the Disk Repair 
Permissions finishes containing such items as:

"Warning: SUID file ..............."

"Permissions differ on ............... "

It looks a bit frightening to someone who has not previously repaired 
permissions but these are messages of results of the process not reports of any 
damage and can be safely ignored. You should look at Apple Support Doc TS1448 
which explains this process.
