Using Disk Utility from the disk to verify boot volume is required, but to repair permission don't do this from the disk but from Disk Utility in applications. > Warning: SUID file > "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAagent.app/Contents/MacOS/A > RDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
