Permissions warning message

Mid 2011 iMac running 10.5.7, when I repair permissions in Disk Utility I get this:
"Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired."
What might it mean, and is it something to be concerned about? Thanks.

I didn't paste it quite right, here is the correct message.
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.

Permissions Warning Message -- What does this mean?

I was helping my mother (over the phone) to Repair Permissions in Disk Utility since her Mac Mini was experiencing some odd glitches like not being able to restart or shut down. Everything else seems to work fine.
When repairing permissions she got this message:
*+Warning: SUID File "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARD Agent.tp/Contents/MacOS/ARD Agent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+*
Does anyone know what this means and if it could be the source of her problem? She is using OS 10.6.0 Snow Leopard, updated recently from OS 10.5 Leopard at an Apple Store. Thanks.

this message is harmless and should be ignored. everybody gets it.

Repair Permissions warning message

Running Repair Permissions on my start-up disc running OS X 10.6, I get the message:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Is this serious? Do I need to do anything about it?
Thanks for any help.

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 and 10.6:
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 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.

Warning Message after repairing disk permissions

I received the following warning after running Repair Disk Permissions:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
My computer has been crashing a lot. Apple ran hardware tests and everything appears to be running OK. Could this message hold the key to my problems?

Probably not, please read this Apple Advice Letter:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
However it would be very beneficial if you provide more information about the circumstances and specifications of your iMac to determine why it's crashing. Also if you are running Activity Monitor to check and see how much FREEE RAM you have and if there are any processes taking up a lot of % CPU.

Repaired Disk permissions-Got Warning message !

My 21.5 3.06 iMac seemed to be having trouble loading some web pages. So along with the usual cleaning out cookies, clearing history, re-setting Safari, I also did a disk permissions verify/repair, and got this message in the list of bad permissions-
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this anything I need to be worried about ? Never saw this one before.
thanks

HI,
You don't need to be concerned about SUID messages, read here.

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

Aperture 3.0.3 annoying warning message

Hi
I have Aperture 3.0.3 running on both Macbook Pro and first generation iMac. Up until now I have enjoyed and had no problems running Aperture which i have used since version 1.5. Referenced Nef files 30K. Upgraded to 3.0.3 and now have an annoying Warning message that now pops up every 5 mins or so on the iMac.
Warning: Could not understand your search date "February".
I am then given options to reformat search. I do not have any search criteria set, I have tried various searches to try and reset, rebuilt permissions, and generally looked all over Aperture for options that may have been accidentally set. I cannot find any. Macbook Pro version of 3.0.3 is fine.
Any ideas of what I can try next?
Cheers
Chris

There are a number of posts on the same issue on another thread. Allan

Warning messages in Disk Utility

When running Verify or Repair Disk Permissions there are several Warning messages I receive. Examples are: Warning: SUID file "sbin/unmount" has been modified and will not be repaired; Warning: SUID file "bin/rcp" has been modified and will not be repaired; Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired. There are 3 or 4 others but I think you get the idea. Are these anything I should be concerned about. The reason I have run this utility is because I have had several issues with my MacBook Pro crashing and having to force shut down.

Are these anything I should be concerned about.

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

Hi,
not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
Good luck!

Firefox displays warning message about an SSL site

When I connect to an SSL site, sometimes firefox displayes a warning message and I can select add exception. When I click on "I understand the risk" and then "view certificate", it says no need to add exception. It actually shows the EV SSL Cert green bar. Why is the firefox showing the error in first place. I do use host file entry for the SSL site. This does not happen all the time. Sometimes, the page with the green bar is shown properly. This is a big problem as once you enter some information and submit, the warning may come back again and page is then not shown.

How did Firefox showed that warning?
Was the a pop-up on a sliding bar at the top of the browser page or a message on the web page?
Do you remember any content of that message?
Was it about a certificate (secure connection)?
Rename the file "permissions.sqlite" to permissions.sqlite.sav in the Firefox Profile Folder to remove all exceptions (cookies, images, pop-ups, software).
If renaming didn't help then you can undo and rename the file permissions.sqlite.sav to permissions.sqlite to get back the old exceptions.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Warning message from nowhere.

After months of editing in Adobe Camera Raw with no problems, I go to edit this morning and this lovely warning message greets me.
Camera Raw editing is not enabled. then this below...
Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
What does this mean???

I've been having the same problem, but I don't have any trials installed -- all I've ever had on this machine is a registered version of Creative Cloud. But I DO have an issue where CC keeps signing me out.
So, for anyone else with the same problem who DOESN'T have any trials installed, what worked for me was to shutdown and repair permissions -- even though I hadn't installed anything new, either.

That error message suggest you have a permissions issue. Make sure you have full read/write privileges for the Drive/ Folder location that you are copying the files to.

Permissions Repair Messages after Updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22.

I've done permissions verifying, and repairs for years now. I'm also aware that many resulting messages can be safely ignored, but after the recent Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22. update, there are two new messages. I hoping someone can offer some advice as to whether these can be ignored as well. My computer seems to be functioning fine. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
The new permissions repair messages;

Yesterday I installed the latest Java update. Prior to that these were 'errors' showed when I ran Disk Utility:

Today I have had some really strange things showing up on my iMAC when I went to Finder, for instance there were a couple of things there "Folders Actions Setup which I took a screenshot of which is way too big to post here and also had "mail attachment" which put the screenshot into a blank email!
Anyone have any ideas? I am now quite concerned.
Thank you.

Unknown Warning Message

I am running OS-X 10.6.2 on a 2.16GHz MacBook Pro 1,1 which seems to be slowing down and has other peculiar behavior. I have run disk utility to repair permissions, and get the warning message; "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
What is the significance of this warning?

I am getting a warning message when i am trying to create a host-named sitecollection.

Hi guys,
I am trying to create a host-named site collection. I have created the root site collection. After that i have tried to create customer root site. I have doing this process with the guidance of this link.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx#section2a
When i tried to create a customer root site. I am getting a warning message
" WARNING: The port specified for the new host header site does not match any known bindings in the specified Web
Application. The new site will not be accessible if the Web Application is not extended to an IIS Web Site serving
this port."
I couldn't when this warning message comes. I tried to bind the server with webapplication which is created for host-named site collection. No use.
Can anyone help me to solve. And i wanna know why this error message comes!!!
Thanks in advance
Rajendran.

First, you shouldn't create a host named site collection on a Web app that has host header named. Doing that implements host names at two different levels and will not work reliably. Second I'm not sure what you mean when you say you didn't
use the FQDN but used just the domain name. A Full url will always be either an FQDN or a shorter Netbios name. If you use a Netbios name it simply assumes the local AD domain of the workstation to create an FQDN as the url There is no way
to use just the domain name. For example, Contoso.com is the domain name. Server.contoso.com or WEbsite.contoso.com are FQDNs. YOu can also use a shorter version that is just server or website, but when those resolve in TCP/IP they would
still resolve using server.contoso.com or website.contoso.com if the workstation where your browser is was in the contoso.com domain. What is the URL for your root site and your host named site?
