Disk Utility -- SUID FILES "will not be repaired"

Last night I ran Disk Utility.
After repair I received this message --
Warning: SUID file "usr/liveecec/load_hdi" had been modified and will not be repaired.
There is a list of nine similar SUID errors illustrated in screen snap shot at this link:
http://homepage.mac.com/boot321/Permission/PhotoAlbum12.html
I've recently upgraded to 10.5.1
Discovering nine problems that cannot be "repaired" by disk utility gives me concern.
I run a fairly conservative series of applications on my G5. Can anyone advise on what may be needed here?
thank you,
Mike

On the link from Michael Conniff suggesting I read the article that Mac posted saying "not a cause for concern" -- there is only ONE Warning that is illustrated. Since I had a total of NINE, I thought that may have consequence....
Yes, the article appeared just after Leopard was released, when there was only one such message. The others appeared with 10.5.1.
Maybe this will all go away in 10.5.2
There has always been a lag between strange messages appearing and a KB article to explain them. In 10.2.2, we started seeing messages saying "We are using special permissions for the file or directory …". Initially there was just one: by 10.4.4, there were almost too many to count. In 10.4.5, Apple suppressed these messages because all they did was spread alarm around this and other forums.
I have no doubt we'll see the same happen with these SUID messages. If you're interested in what happened before, look at the links in this FAQ: Permissions Issues.

HT2963 Warning: SUID file ------will not be repaired.

Hi:
When trouble shooting some difficulties in a game I was directed to run
Disk Utility Program ---Disk Utilities Repair Disk Permissions
I ran the program and got this Warning.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Should I be concerned? Will it cause difficulties? Have I been hacked?

That's a permission you can ignore, so don't worry about that > http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448

Disk utility & TechTool Pro will not recognize volumes on hard drive

My Powerbook G4 will not start up. This is what happens:
1. Startup chime
2. Hard drive starts to make a constant 'pause-click, pause-click' like a skipping vinyl record sound
3. Then I only get as far as the flashing question mark on screen
I have disconnected all peripherals. I have booted up from install CD and used *Disk Utility* and it does not recognize the hard drive, only the CDR drive. I have booted from the Apple Hardware Test CD. All hardware passes. I have booted off the *TechTool Pro CD* and tried to run the entire suite of diagnositc tests. All hardware passes, all drives pass, but when I get to Volumes and Files, none are recognized. I have tried to get to the *Startup Manager*, but I can't get to that point either, only as far as the flashing question mark. I would like to be able to salvage data from the harddrive, so haven't tried to reinstall software and OS.
It seems to me that the hard drive is probably dead and I probably need to replace it, but is there any hope to recover data from the old hard drive
Any suggestions on what else I might try or on confirming my tentative diagnosis, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply Tom,
I mostly save my work related documents on external flash drives or zip drive media, so my most important data for the most part is backed up. However, I had gotten a bit unattentive with personal interest stuff, like photos, music etc. I'll probably think of something important months from now and realize it was only on that drive, but for now I am most concerned about my downloaded emails and email addressbook. I never thought to back those up. Makes me want to stop running Thunderbird and keep all my emails online. Anyway I have some recent business inquiry emails from new contacts that are stuck on that drive. Can't recall the exact name of the organization this person was with. Aghh.
Think there is any use trying one of those data recovery programs to see if I could extract some information from the disk?
I am realizing that I will probably need a new hard drive to get the computer running . A friend's dad who is a computer teacher (though mostly PC but has kids with Macs so he's been working with Macs a bit and learning) mentioned the possibility of putting in a new hard drive as the start up drive then installing the old one as a secondary hard drive so I can try to access my data that way. Think that sounds like a feasible option to try? Perhaps I could run the recovery within that configuration. Worth a try? Pointless?
I appreciate any words of wisdom or commiseration.
Thanks,
Applangel

Disk Utility reports 'Volume could not be repaired' Now what?

Disk Utility reports that my internal HD cannot be repaired (I tried booting to the installation CD as-well-as a Superduper image with the same result). Here is the complete dialogue:
Verify and Repair disk “iMac_HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Illegal name
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.

The volume iMac_HD could not be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
Repair attempted on 1 volume
1 volume could not be repaired
Unfortunately the backup image has the same problem, so no use restoring the internal HD from it. So what do I do now? I read on a forum that the 'illegal name' error is caused by Photoshop CS, but didn't see a solution. Help!
 20" Intel iMac (2.0GB RAM, 256MB VRAM, 500GB HD) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I get this error occassionally too. In those cases I take my original install dvd, put it in, reboot and hold the c key.
It then starts an install (don't worry, it won't do anything). When the install screen appears, in the top menu you can select Disk Utility.
Repair the disk from there, it will probably manage now. I guess something is interfering with Disk Utility when all of OS X has loaded.
Once the disk is repaired, verify/repair permissions, exit the program and reboot (don't hold and press c this time around).
Hope this helps.

Disk Utility permissions - file does not exist ?

I did just do a complete erase and re install.
While in the rebuilding process`s i have noticed that when it comes to doing the update in the cycle of events, java updates will do one and then the updater will pause and check again install another java update and pause, blank screen , weird behavior. i just wait with patience while the system does it`s thing.
I have built up to where there is no more updates available and as usual i do run the Disk Utility after each sequence of updates that the updater provides. I am running Disk Utility from the Machine and not from the upgrade to 10.5 CD or install 1 CD. I have seen that running D U from the CD does not give as full a report in comparison to what the machine does.
Disk Utility shows this:
Jul 23 20:42:17 Macintosh Disk Utility[164]: Permissions differ on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
when i go into the terminal to get a closer look with:
$ ls -l Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources
ls: Library/Internet: No such file or directory
ls: Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources: No such file or directory
and then this:
$ ls -l /Library
drwxrwxr-x 13 root admin 442 Jul 23 19:10 Internet Plug-Ins
shows that it does exist.
yet when i try:
$ ls /Internet Plug-Ins
ls: /Internet: No such file or directory
ls: Plug-Ins: No such file or directory
or
$ ls -l /InternetPlug-Ins
ls: /InternetPlug-Ins: No such file or directory
Question: ? is a question mark, what do i do, what can i do ?.
any feed back on this puppy ?.
Thank you

-rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r--
That's because you have updates installed that are more recent than the repair permissions data. Ignore it.
ls -l Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources
You omitted the first / in the path, and you didn't escape the space. The correct command is:
ls -l '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources'
or:
ls -l /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources

The opperating system I am using is 10.7.4, and updating to the latest version currently. Computer is running fine, except that when I did some utility repairs, I got the warning above, and not really sure what do, in regards to repairing it correctly, not just getting the message off of my computer.
Thank you for your help, and please only contribute if you know about this issue please.

That's a status message which can be safely ignored.

I am running 10.9.1 software
Help Diggs1936

I 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.

No. Ignore it.

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.
