Permissions Repair: Warning SUID file issue?

Greetings,
I have been having a sleep issue and an occasional error message that said the Time Machine backup could not be completed so I ran disk utility to repair permissions and this is what it said;
+Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”+
+Permissions differ on "sbin/restore", should be -r-xr-xr-x , they are -r-sr-sr-x .+
+Warning: SUID file "sbin/restore" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
+Permissions differ on "sbin/rrestore", should be -r-xr-xr-x , they are -r-sr-sr-x .+
+Warning: SUID file "sbin/rrestore" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
+Permissions differ on "sbin/mount_smbfs", should be -r-xr-xr-x , they are -r-sr-xr-x .+
+Warning: SUID file "sbin/mount_smbfs" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
+Permissions differ on "usr/bin/smbutil", should be -r-xr-xr-x , they are -r-sr-xr-x .+
+Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/smbutil" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
+Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.+
+Permissions verification complete+
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance - Scrags

it means that those files have set user id bits which shouldn't be there according to the permissions database. an s-bit makes a command run with the user id of the file for that command rather than the user invoking the command. for example, if you invoke unix restore command from terminal it ought to run as you. however, on your system it would run as root because the file /sbin/restore used to call this command is owned by root and has a user s-bit on it.
as i said this has nothing to do with your sleep issues but you might as well fix it.

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.

Permissions Problem:Warning SUID file?

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes.
My Macbook Pro was acting funny the last 2 days and was really laggy when I was typing. So I ran a Disk utility to check permissions and verify the disk. There were a couple of things out of wack that were repaired and I'm not having that lag problem. However I ran across another one.
This is a message that came up when I repaired the permissions:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppasswd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this something that I should be concerned about?

I have the same Disk Utility error messages, but I am also unable to start any of my Microsoft Office X applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I was directed to "completely" uninstall Office and reinstall, and that has not resolved that issue.
Am I wrong to believe the two issues are related?
Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Yes, they are most likely completely unrelated. Many have these warnings.
You should post a new thread with your MS issue.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppasswd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
They are merely warnings. Search these threads for hundreds of these cases and explanations.
Everything was working with them till I was building a chart in Excel. Then the program "unexpectedly quit" and since nothing Office has worked. Anyway, after I started having the issue with the Microsoft programs, I ran Disk Utilities and produced these warnings.
The issue you have is with MS products. Reinstall the MS software.
Go to this forum: http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Office/
Will/Would reinstallation of Leopard be the only way to resolve the issue?
It would be the worst way. Leopard is fine. Your Office is not.
Is there a 10.5.5 version of the installer so that I can archive and clean install?
I don't understand this question at all.

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.

HT2963 When I repair permissions, get one reading that can't be repaired. "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?

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?

Just loaded Lion: Now, Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired. What can I do about this?

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!

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.

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?

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.

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
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.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx
| | |
| | all other users not in first two types
| |
| group
|
owner
a little more info
Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
After, only the user had read & write.

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 repai

Doug,
According to Apple, Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.

During a routine verify permissions using my disc utility, I'm getting a WARNING: SUID file "Systems/Library/CoreService-.ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

During a routine verify permissions using my disc utility, I'm getting a WARNING: SUID file "Systems/Library/CoreService….ent" has been modified and will not be repaired. What does this mean?? I'm not awawre that I did anything to cause this and is it somethingI should try to fix?

1. It means that the current software is installed.
2. It's not something you should try to fix.
3. Verifying and repairing permissions shouldn't be done as routine tasks.

After Repairing Permissions, "Warning: SUID file. . ." So, is it a concern

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I don't what this means, nor even where to begin to find out. Thoughts.

Hi VALman, a list of repairable items are gone indeed. I used the OS on OCZ-V30GbSSD and the Home Folder from WD-1TbBC before by Leopard with this message then I login to a Guest Account change the Home Folder back to my OS drive with new UUID as well. Then fast user switching OK, new Finder window, run Maintenance software, shut down. Turn on, rename as previous and change back the Home Folder to the WD-Caviar. All this happened when I renamed the drive by adding new icon&name for "fun".
So I don't know if your system description is up to date, mine is Octo- Nehalem.
