Repair Permissions Warnings

I keep getting the following warning messages in Leopard when I repair permissions. Even if I repair again, I get the same messages. I did a complete erase and install of Leopard. Then I don't get the warnings. But when I upgrade to 10.5.1 I get the warnings again. Something in the upgrade is doing this. System works fine, just wish I could eliminate this.
Anyone know what is going on here, or have had similar behavior?

Permissions repair complete

I'm getting a very similar set of "warnings" when I repair permissions. This is after a new install of Leopard followed by using migration assistant to copy my documents from an external drive. I tried re-running the 10.5.1 upgrade using the stand alone installer instead of software update but this did not fix the problem. The name of my boot volume is a single word.
I had problems with Office apps related to lack of permission for some accessory files but fixed the problems after deleting all the preference files associated with Office. I also had to copy my address book files over from the backup for similar reasons. Quite a mess really.

    I am getting Repair Permissions warnings in Disk Utilities. Such as:
    Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/ Versions/A/Resources/DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    I am getting a total of 9 of these "Warnings." Anyone know what these mean and whether these can be fixed? I am on a Mac Pro Dual Core 2.66 Intel Xeon with 4 gig RAM running 10.5.1.
    Thanks,

  • This history look right? After Repairing Disk Permissions WARNINGS exist.

    I just repaired disk permissions on my iMac, does the history look OK? Plenty of WARNINGS at the end of the history. I am not too concerned with the ACL stuff.

    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?

  • Repairing Permissions and 2 Warnings not fixed, any idea why???

    Everytime I try to repair permissions, I always get the following 2 warnings:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Everything else is repaired just fine except for these 2. is there anything I can do about it? Does it matter? Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Kevin

    As Thomas says, just ignore such messages. After repairing permissions, the only thing of importance usually is that you receive a message that the permissions repair completed. [Here is a list of disk utility messages that can be safely ignored|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448].

    Permissions repair complete

    Hi
    Hundreds, if not thousands, of threads regarding this. The SUID messages are harmless & can be ignored. If you want rid of all but the ARD one (just means that you installed the Remote Desktop update), download & run this:

  • Disk utility - repair permissions keeps reporting same issues

    my machine has been unstable for a while, and i thought it was time to repair permissions.
    normally, after being run a couple of times, there are no more to be repaired. however, this time, the same 35 lines of permissions being changed are displayed over and over. also after rebooting.
    1. why aren't the permissions finally corrected?
    most issues concern 'System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents', 'System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework/Versions/A/Resources/P lugins' and a couple of warnings that suid-files are changed and won't be repaired.
    2. i never used front row, - what's happening?
    3. what's with the suid-files?
    4. will reinstalling leopard help my situation?
    5. if i use time machine to restore, how can i be sure the problems don't persist? or 'get back in'?

    why aren't the permissions finally corrected?
    Apple changed the structure of some of its packages without updating the repair permissions mechanism. Until and unless they release a patch, nothing done will stop those messages from appearing. Disregard them.
    i never used front row, - what's happening?
    You installed a package which updated it.
    what's with the suid-files?
    Those messages are normal.

  • Question on repairing permissions

    I have a current problem where every time I restart my MBP (2.6ghz, early 08) the desktop picture goes to a picture I used a few months back. I tried deleting a couple of the preference panes that relate to desktop to no avail. I ended up moving that picture from it's location in the pictures folder and then upon restart, the default starry picture was used instead of the current one I have selected. I did some poking around here and saw a mention of repairing permissions to help with that problem. So I did and I end up with some warnings that I am unsure of their meaning. Can anyone offer some insight into the entirety of the situation, desktop and the warnings?

    In general, I'd consider that to be a bad idea. The preference panes don't contain those settings, just the software that allows them to be manipulated.
    Try trashing the file com.apple.desktop.plist in the folder <yourhome>/Library/Preferences .

  • How come I always get the same results when I repair permissions?

    When I repair permissions I get the following messages, even if I do it again immediately afterwards:
    +Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .+
    +Repaired "usr/share/derby".+
    +Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+

    The message about the ARDAgent is the result of an Apple update to Apple Remote Desktop from awhile ago. If you ran the update, you will get the notice. The "derby" message says that instead of a folder in the /usr/share directory there is now a symbolic link. Since derby is a java gizmo for the Apache web server, and there is a new Java update from Apple (which I haven't run yet, as it requires a restart), it is quite possible that the update makes that change. As Barney noted, Apple has not been good at making changes in the permissions database when they send out updates. The result is that we begin to see these little notes. Initially the database was in complete accord with what the installation had, and there were no warnings at all in Snow Leopard. After the ARD update the SUID warning began, and it is likely the Java update just added another one.
    However, the tendency of people to just automatically ignore all warnings all the time, a legacy of the horrible performance of Apple in updating the database in Leopard (where one would get dozens of these things), is I think unfortunate. There can be real errors, some of which could indicate something bad, such as a compromised computer. One really needs to stop and think about which files are showing a warning, and what the warning means, and whether it is the case that all Snow Leopard installations that are fully updated are showing the particular warnings in question.

  • Repair Permission Warnings after 10.5.5 update

    I just did an update from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. Everything seems to be fine from a functional standpoint, except warnings I am getting from repair disk permissions. Before the update, I ran verify disk (ok), repaired permissions (there were a couple of issues that were repaired successfully). I then ran the update which included OSX, java, and 3 other updates. Everything seemed to go fine.
    I then ran repair disk permissions again and got the following:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppasswdl" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    Permissions differ on "private/var/spool/cups/cache/rss", should be drwxr-xr-x, they are drwxrwxr-x.
    I have called apple support. They ran me through another round of repair disk permissions from the install disk. Same warnings, nothing changed. They indicated that the warnings are probably "no big deal."
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Is this OK? Or, do I have a problem?
    You're cool.
    The Time and Date are when you created the file or permissions. Nothing more.
    As long as everything else is OK, it's really just a minor Apple bug. There is a permissions database from which the DU takes orders, so to speak. If a file's permissions differ from what the database says they should be, you get a warning. AFAIK, the problem is with the database, not with anything else.
    Also, if you download and reapply the 10.5.5 update the first two SUID warnings may disappear. In fact, they all may disappear, but as I noted, those last two keep coming back, like that proverbial bad penny
    You can check other posts of mine and others for the link to the Apple download page.
    Again, no problem - you are in good shape.

    Thanks Chuck

    Frankly, I think there are few to any warnings that Repair Permissions throws that you should be worried about, EVER.
    People think repairing permissions "repairs" things. It really doesn't "repair" anything. It CHECKS permissions against a set of files which indicate what they were when things were installed. If these permissions were changed in some way (sometimes, this was done INTENTIONALLY), repair permissions will throw errors or warnings, which can be benign.

  • Repair Permissions with SUID error?

    after some other advice on this message board, i have attempted to repair permissions on the Mac HD... and i received an SUID error on multiple system files, i've attached a screen shot...
    http://www.islipexchange.com/Pic1.png

    This is not a problem. See this. Apple OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports a permissions issue with ARDAgent
    I cleared mine by downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update and installing it again. This cleared all the warnings.
    FYI the same trick works if you update to 10.5.2 you will get the same errors. Just download the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update and it will fix them.

  • External disk - repair permissions

    It seems the permissions on my HD need to be repaired.
    Unfortunately I have lost the Repair disk during an international move.
    I still have the install disk - so I tried to install OS 10.6 onto an external drive. The intention was to boot from the external drive and repair permisions on the MacBook HD.
    The installation kept showing the external disk as having not been ejected correctly, which is not correct. Anyway, I erased all partitions on this external disk, using Disk Utility, did a 7 pass erase, and then also ran the repair disk function too; Disk Utilityshowed that there were no issues with this external disk. However, I still got the same result from the OS installation program, that the external disk had not been ejected correctly. I went around in the circle a number of times before giving up.
    Now I am at a loss how to make the external boot disk to repair permisions on the computer HD.
    I know in the distant past it was possible to just copy the System folder to an external drive and it would boot; but I was told this no longer works.
    Any get around this issue or a solution would be most welcome.
    Thank you

    It seems that there is a theory that you don't need to repair permissions anymore.
    Correct.  It is unnecessary and doen't repair your permissions anyway.
    About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature
    When files loose their connection with the program that created them is one example why permisions need to be repaired.
    No, that is an indication that Launch Services has got corrupted or confused and maybe it needs rebuilding.  Repair permissions does nothing to the launch services data base.
    The last time I had issues was 18 months ago and running repair disk permissions solved all the instability problems; I don't think I was dillusional about this; so as I have warnings to repair disk permissions and instability issues I what I want to repair the permissions; that is irrespective of any currrent thought that this isn't necessary.
    You believe what you want.  Read the link about repairing permissions and what it does.
    The repair disk has a minimal system and disk utilities on it that allows you to boot from the DVD and repair the internal HD. In the early days you could just drag a minimal of certain files from the system onto a flopy or latter a CD together with disk repair and it would do the job. I lost my repair disk, so I want to create a system on an external drive which together with Disk Utility so I can repair the permissions. Or even make a DVD with a minimum system and disk utilities.
    There is no such thing as a "repair disk".   You have installer dvd's that came with your hardware or the recovery partition that is part of Lion.  You boot it and run Disk Utility to verify/repair, and yes, if you insist, repair permissions.  Or you boot from another bootable disk and use its Disk Utilities to repair/verify your drives from there.  That is because you cannot repair the drive you are currently booted from.
    You can't repair permissions from the HD that has issues, ("If necessary (which is seldom), permissions should be repaired from the selfsame disk.') well at least up to OS10.6, you need an external system to do this, i.e. external HD or DVD. Apple genius bars use external drives to do this; being in Spain there is only one of those some 3+ hours away; a final option if I can't get success.
    I basically just said this immediately above.
    As I mentioned when I tried to install OS10.6 onto an external drive I had issues doing this, as covered in my initial email.
    First a 7-pass erase it a complete waste of time when a simple erase will do.  Second I think the you are getting "disk ejected improperly" because you may have one of those enclosures that has a tendency to go off line on its own, which of course is indeed ejecting the disk incorrectly.  I'm guessing on this last point of course but it seems reasonable to me.
