On Mavericks Repairing Permissions Appears -- Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Hello Everyone,
I've seen this Warning while repairing permissions on my MacBook Pro. I've seen the "Ignore This" suggestion for earlier OSX versions. My question is: Is this normal even for Mavericks? and why hasn't Apple corrected this issue?
These are recurring messages that you may safely ignore. They are innocuous.

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. -
What to do about error msg in Disk Utility on MacBook Air:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/Core/Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDA gent"has been modified and will not be repaired.”As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:

Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

I run permissions. Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired. System runs slow,I have to run permissions - again runs good for i while Repeat with same warning
any one know whats up?Unless you get strange messages that a file cannot be accessed, you don't have a permission problem.
First step for slow system is check the free space on the hard drive. You should have at least 20GB free, but 50 is better. If the drive sounds like it is constantly reading and writing, you don't have enough free space.
Next, boot into Safe Mode by holding down Shift key. It will do some maintenance, so it will take a little while. Check things out while in Safe Mode. It disables third-party stuff that might cause problems.
Reboot normally and see if it runs ok. -
Repaired permissions once, got rid of the the previous iTunes errors. Cleared history and repaired again, still get:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Any ideas?I have just started seeing this message and, almost simultaneously, have started to have problems with various different apps crashing for no real reason. Just a coincidence?
For interest, SketchUp crashed with the message
"Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000f7f7fff9"
and QuarkXpress with the message
"Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000"
Am I just punching at shadows or could these be linked?
Hope someone can put my mind at rest.

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:

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.

No permissions repair trouble the whole time I had my new MacBook Pro. Now, I get this message (after a ton of necesary repairs:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
What does this mean, and what can i do?I see the same thing but it does not appear to be a problem. Some discussion in:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15688567#15688567
I'm actually seeing a lot fewer permission repairs than I used to see (and they didn't seem to cause problems either ). Hope that helps! -
What does this message mean? "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired" I get this when I try to repair permissions in disk utility.
It's an innocuous error you can ignore. It was introduced with previous updates for ARD and/or Java before Lion. These are messages, not errors. They will cause no harm, and they will be repeated each time you repair permissions.

Hi There! I have a question on Kernel Task-Threat. How can I clean my computer? This is the message that persists when cleaning disc--Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
That's a routine message and it means nothing. Don't waste your time repairing permissions unless you know you have a problem that can be solved that way, which you probably never will.

When I repair my permissions, this never gets repaired. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Also, can anyone tell me why my disk permissions are constantly being changed?It's a recurring message. It's innocuous and of no concern. It is the result of the ARD installation you did. Just ignore it.
