Disk permissions: SUID file ***/*** has been modified
While checking and repairing disk permissions I now get a number of warnings: "SUID file **/** has been modified and will not be repaired". This is happening on both my MacBook (May 2007) and iMac (October 2007). Both have been updated from Tiger to Leopard. Whenever I try to repair disk permissions I get these errors. I have never noticed these warnings in Tiger and wonder if they are something to do with the upgrade. More importantly, is it anything to worry about?
Hi There
Apple have released a statement about this but I can't seem to find it at this time. From memory they said that it was correct but nothing to worry about.
Also Download the Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 install package from the website and reinstall this should get rid of some and leave you with just the Remote Desktop Client warning.

Any courageous guesses to the meaning of this somber conversation reported in Disk Utility following a permission repair after installing OSX 10.5 ?
Thank you FrederickHi ELBiggus
This is the Disk Utility conversation . I spoke with an Apple Technician who suggested that the double layer DVD installation disk Leopard is smart enough to do a clean install on all Apple hardware . So I am going to back up the Macbook pro and do the Clean and Install . Then I will see if that doesn't kill the problem , WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS !!!
I still don't really know what it is , but it feels ominously similar to disk failure .

Why?I'm having the same errors, but also other symptoms that could be related, but I'm not sure. I have two profiles (users) on my machine. One is for work and one for personal. The work profile works fine, but the personal one loses the settings each time I log off or restart. It loses dock settings, web history, and other things. I've run disk repair and permissions repair both from the Leopard Disc, but it still hasn't changed.

File has been modified and will not be repaired?
When running Repair Disk Permissions on my 10.6 boot drive, I received the following error:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this bad? What does this mean? As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
This thread from 2007 says it's a bug that will be fixed 'soon':
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5705186
Any idea how to fix my 'modified' file?Is this bad?
No. Ignore it.
What does this mean?
That you have the current OS version installed.
As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
It's part of the OS.

Permissions verify/repair has been modified and will not be repaired.
Lately, I have noticed a slower response and web pages with text,
are scrambled.
So I got rid of the too many jpeg pictures I had, and ran disk utility.
First ran verify and then repair.
The report shows as follows:
1.Warning:SUID file "system/library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent"
has been modified and will not be repaired.
2.Warning:SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this something I need to take action on?
Or when the system modified them, it should be ok?
This imac is less than six months old, so I don't want to have any problems.
Perhaps the two issues have nothing to do with this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Signed,
Self taught MacMan/ JohnNo problems. Common to see that and nothing to take action over.

Hi. I
My Mac has been hanging up frequently. I do the disk permission repair and always a whole string of things are off. It says my SUID has been altered and will not be fixed, and user should be 95 user is 0. What is wrong and what can I do?Read this about SUID - you are probably fine
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
As to the hangs, it's likely something else. A 2003 iMac is pretty old - which model iMac? That's a G4 which can't run current OS. Is the hard drive full? Do you have enough RAM? -
What does the message "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?
It's just a status message, albeit a misleading one, and can be ignored.

I have a mid 2007 iMac running OS Mavericks and the hard drive is failing. When doing a disk permissions verify it shows SUID file system/library/coreservices/remotemanagement/ARDAgent/contents/MacOS/ARDAgent has been modified and will not be repaired. I do not have a backup of my system due to my external drive I use for backing up my system has stopped working. Can I repair this myself without having to reinstall the OS so I don't loose my any of my files.
You can safely ignore that.

When I repair permissions in disk untilities, I get one result that cannot be repaired:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I recently had a new hard drive installed by Apple, after mine failed. The permissions seem to get out of whack quite often, and I get the message above.
Can you please tell me what may be going on?For more information, see:

screen saver does not turn on. Have run the disc utility to repair disc permissions. Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
I am running 10.9.1 software
Help Diggs1936I would try reinstalling.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
When I run repair permissions I continue to get this message even after a full reformat and re-install of OS. "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Doug,
According to Apple, Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore. -
