Message after repairing permissions on MB wit Leopard

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
This message came after I repaired permissions on MB with Leopard - any idea what it means and is it important or not - something to do with Remote Management which was selected at start up - can tis be deleted or removed and what is remote management anyway - I was not aware of it being in the Tiger OS version beofre I upgraded.
Thanks
RC

It's normal. Other people are getting it too. Just disregard it for now.

Warning messages after repairing permissions

I hope that someone out there can tell me what these messages mean after running Disk Utility on my new MBP. Here is what it says:

Warning: SUID file "Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app/Contents/Resources/kcproxy" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Permissions repair complete

It sounds like you used the 10.5.1 update using Software Update.
Download the larger 110MB file of 10.5.1 directly from Apple and this will most likely take care of all but one SUID warning.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1051update.html
The remaining warning is normal and will cause no problems.

Warnings notice after repairing permissions

After upgrading to 10.5.1, I noticed the following Warnings after I repaired permissions:
Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Any idea of what's causing these warnings? Is this a problem I should correct or worry about?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This looks like a carbon copy to the message I found after repairing permissions. It happened as well after installing Mac OS X Leopard. I verified my Startup Disk, it checked out ok. The reason why I did these repair and verification moves was because my Toast 8 crashed each time upon trying to start it up. I had no problems with it before, neither with any prior Toast version, down to Toast 2 (I believe, I started with Toast 2). When I installed the Leopard I did an upgrade only, not an "erase and install." I just dreaded to do a zillion re-installations of all applications. I hope somebody comes up with some good suggestions. Or is it possible that this has to do with those typical bugs that seem to be unavoidable at the release of a new system software?

After repairing permissions, in Mac OS X, I ask the utility to verify permissions again and the same problems are shown, as if I had not repaired anything. What's happening?

What you are seeing are messages. It's ok.. it won't do any good to repeatedly repair permissions. As long as you see Repair Permissions Complete when it's finished, you are good to go.
Also, if you see any messages that say: SUID: That can be ignored.

Keep in mind, the only time you need to repair permissions is for troubleshooting.

Never seen this message before in disk utility after repair perm

as an idiot I did th enew update and repaired permission hoping that that long hang up would go away and now it said this

Reinstall the 10.5.2 COMBO update and repair permissions. That should fix things. Alternatively, search these forums for ACL, sort by date, and read the responses and the article Apple posted three months ago: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925

Odd Messages While Repairing Permissions

Had that annoying spinning beach ball today, so I used software update and then repaired permissions after. Never had a message like this before in all my mac years:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppaswd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
No other permissions were repaired.
Um . . . HUH? I have two firewalls on this thing and have to approve even outgoing print jobs manually. I'd be surprised if I had anyone get n here, but anything is possible. I sync to mobileme and my iphone and ipod video. Have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but no other bluetooth devices. My wireless network is hidden and secured with a password. . .
I'm the only user, the computer is only a few weeks old.
Should I be worried? Should I be deleting something? Would love some thoughts and opinions!
Thanks in advance!
Sharon

A commonly known situation. See Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files.
No, you need not be worried.

Warning message when repairing permissions

I Just repaired permissions and the usual large list showed up. But this time I got a message that says:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreService...ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I navigated to that site and could not find a SUID file. Does anyone know what that stands for and could this be a problem?
Thanks for any assistance.
Rich

Thanks Macjack,
I seemed to get that response after updating to 10.6.7 and my confusion is that when I go to Core Service Folder in the Library, I don't even see any SUID File at all? And this is the first time I have ever received a warning that a file has been modified and not repaired. Have you seen a warning like this before?

Message in Repairing Permissions

Leopard 10.5.2, running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. Got a message saying: "found ACL in library not expected" or something pretty close to that. Does anyone know what this might mean? I can't find anything in my Library that might give me a clue.
Thanks for any insight.

It's benign; ignore it.

Weird Message from Repairing Permissions

Had a new iMac for about a month.
For a lark I did a repair permsissions - mainly as a speed test.
I got a message that "CoreServices...as been changed. Unable to repair"
(Yes, "has" was mispelled)
Hovering over the line showed that the file in question was in Apple's Remote Desktop .App
I wouldn't necessarily care, but this screams security issue.
I have installed:
Rosetta
I partitioned with Boot Camp, but I have not used it yet.
The only non-Apple Apps are a driver for a USB sound interface
Adobe PhotoShop Elements
The older version (PPC)of Microsoft Office (2005?)
Quicken and Turbo Tax
Is this a common error?

There are numerous but innocuous messages reported by Disk Utility when repairing permissions. See the following: Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.
These messages will occur each time you repair permissions, and they may be safely ignored.

Colorsync/Display issue after repairing permissions

I'm working on a friends Mac with OS 3.9. She hasn't repaired permissions since Panther came out. Her computer was super slow, so I ran the repair. Display was perfect before the repairs. It completely improved the system but after the reboot the display got ugly. Blazingly bright colors mostly. I tried going into colorsync and changing profiles but to no avail they were all ugly. Then I tried to fix the problem by re-calibrating... no luck. When I reboot the system it comes up the correct colors for a moment then after a few seconds trips back into ugly mode. I tried removing the colorsync profiles and placed them in a folder on the desktop for safe keeping. Rebooted... still no luck. I might not have removed all the right files. Last thing I tried was to repair profiles in the ColorSync app. It fixed problems... but once again, it didn't change the display back to normal before or after the reboot.
Please help me... (She has a Apple Display)

Welcome To Discussions JCTrick!
Open System Preferences > Displays > Display.
Adjust the settings there.
If that doesn't help, click on Color.
Checkmark the box for Show profiles for this display only.
Click on the display you wish to adjust, to highlight it.
Click Calibrate.
Follow the instructions. Sorry, I'm afraid I can't walk you through them, as it's been so long since I've done it! But you can stop the process at any time.
If none of that helps, run the Apple Hardware Test.
Good Luck!

Weird Msg after repairing permissions

hello
I am on Lion OS,
I repaired permissions and got the following message
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
What is it.? and do I fix it?

You can safely ignore this message. It is accurate, but not a cause for any concern.

Obscure error message while repairing permissions

OSX 10.6.3. While repairing permissions, I spotted this strange message: Warning. SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices..." has been modified and will not be repaired."
Seems a little strange. I've done nothing exotic that would modify the system in such a way.
Anyone have an idea what's gone wrong?

Error message when Repair permissions

"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAge nt" has been modified and will not be repaired."
This is the message I get when running Repair Permissions. What is it and how do I fix it. I thought the issues was with Office 2004 and removed that but it remains.

That error is a result of the Remote Desktop software update.
There are numerous threads in here about this already.

Warning Message when Repair Permissions

When I "Repair Permissions" I get the following warning: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Does anyone know what this means?

That means that a recent version of Apple Remote Desktop is installed. Ignore it and any of these other messages.

Why do so many items appear after repair permissions.

Something that has never made sense to me is repair permissions. It is suggested that we repair permissions yet so many items reappear in verify. In my case a verify revealed 119 items of concern with one suid warning. Have run repair a number of times yet 60 items remain including the suid warning- Remote Management ARDAgent.

No biggie. Simplifying matters a bit, Apple's Installer leaves behind a list of items installed. "Repair permissions" goes through the system software and checks it against the list. Where it finds that permissions differ, it resets them to the values in the list. Permissions get changed for various reasons, including poorly programmed software and users who know just enough to get into trouble. Fixing permissions is a step which does not require any expertise and, once started, does not require user interaction. That, and, as CT says, the black magic touch, is probably the reason it is so often recommended, even by tech support, although it probably works only in a small number of cases. There's no point in wasting time about the list of specific fixed permissions in this instance -- if Apple says ignore them, do just that. There's enough other stuff we need to worry about.
Now, as to your real problem -- "Finder doesn't find anything". You'll have to provide more details, but it sounds your problem is not so much with Finder as with Spotlight.
