SUID FILE WARNING???

I used Disk Utility to repair permissions (whatever that means!) and received the following warning:
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? Am I doomed??? LMAO!!

Yes, now quietly and slowly get up and walk back away from the computer....................................
No, I have seen them in my permissions repairs, but as long as that last line says Permissions Repaired, all seems to be good.

SUID file warning messaje

Would anyone knows how to fix the SUID file warning (Mavericks) in repairing disk permissions?
Thanks in advance.

That message means that the file was modified in an update. There's nothing to fix.

That message is normal and not a cause for concern; you may be able to make it disappear by installing this software. If not, ignore it.

SUID file warning with Snow Leopard permissions repair

I get this whenever I repair permissions on SL
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Does anyone know what it means ?

I never found the need for these fine forums before -from my '94 Powerbook 500C thru my '04 iMac G4- but now I've upgraded to a tricked out 'new' 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard I'm running into bugs, left, right and centre. Here's what I've got to share:
Aside from the now infamous Bluetooth issue, I just ran into the following two thread relevant warnings after running DU in an attempt to find out why my infrared Apple Remote won't work.
*Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.*
and
*Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.*
From googling around it seems that these are nothing new for the Mac Daddy, dating back several years so I'm not holding my breath for Apple to step up to the plate.
Has anyone run anything like DiskWarrior or Drive Genius instead of Disk Utility to try and resolve this? I'd give it a go myself but since I'm still feeling my way around my new rig I'm a bit leery of being a lab rat myself.
I'm only three days into playing with all my new toy. What next? Oh well, at least I have company in my misery and we all know how compatible they are. I'm happy to make your acquaintance ladies and gentlemen.

Lost start up internal disc and getting SUID File warning code?

In spite of everyone saying this is normal "SUID file "system/library/core services/remoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARD/agent" has been modified and will not be repaired. It is not a normal thing? My Mac is only three moths old, and I downloaded Lion, lost my Microsoft apps, resumes, and all my back up in icloud? Whole library crashed and it's a mess. Now there is now start up disc in the system? Very annoying.

If you repair Permissions and get the message Permissions repair complete, then go back and repair again, anything that reappears is not really an "error." Just ignore it.
If the Lion upgrade from Snow Leopard did all that and you have no backup to restore, then you're out of luck. But I don't understand how you went from Snow Leopard on a three months old machine. It wouldn't have come with Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard couldn't have been installed on it. Maybe you want to clarify.
EDIT: this would appear now to be a Lion, not a Snow Leopard issue. Why don't you ask for help in the Lion forum? Perhaps there are some fixes for your issues.

SUID file Question

When I verify disk permissions, I get this message "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 should I be concerned?

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"

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.

Warning SUID file modified after verify disc permissions 10.6.8 - what to do ?

hi
II have had a super slow computer for about 2 weeks mac book pro / 10.6.8
the rainbow wheel is turning a lot [ even internet is slow - but speed check says it isn't ]
I moved things off it to make more space
now 499.76 gb / 28.92 gb free
I do a lot f wrintg and images and think I have a lot of files:
Number of Folders :
213,675
Number of Files :
795,199
I just ran Verify permissions in Disc utilities and this was one result listed [ amidst other permissions found awry I've said 'repair' to - undertaking those now ] :
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 = what should I do
* I am barely computer literate [its workings-wise]...
and too scared to put in the original disc etc.
Also I just read this on the forum:

Re: Mac running very Slow and Hot
Sep 2, 2012 1:15 PM (in response to mvcola)
If you don't have any processes consuming a lot of CPU time, then the computer shouldn't be running hot.
and wondering if no sleep has cuased this - because sometime this year I did change to no sleep to sleep after an hour [I think] which I thought would make computer wear less/ last longer - should I go back to "no sleep" ?
thanks for any advice about smooth operation checkups etc for non computer savvy type who doesn't want to lose or wreck anything !

You can ignore that message.
As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' (when you repair the disk, not just verify it) 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:

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 "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.

Hi There! I have a question on Kernel Task-Threat. How can I clean my computer? This is the message --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.

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.

The opperating system I am using is 10.7.4, and updating to the latest version currently. Computer is running fine, except that when I did some utility repairs, I got the warning above, and not really sure what do, in regards to repairing it correctly, not just getting the message off of my computer.
Thank you for your help, and please only contribute if you know about this issue please.

That's a status message which can be safely ignored.

So I am new to the forum and would like some helpful (non-snobbery) advice regarding my iMac. I am currently working on an iMac G5 - 1.8 GHz PowerPD G5, equipped with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM. I've just cleaned up the hard disk and installed Leopard. Here is my dilemma:
The machine has been performing VERY SLUGGISH. Even with 1.5 GB RAM. It has been used in the past to run some CAD software (Lightwave), but I've since uninstalled it. I primarily use this computer for print design and run CS2 on it. For the most part, I work primarily in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and occasionally work with large (150 - 500 MB) image files for large format applications. I understand this will hog a considerable amount of RAM and it typically does. However, even with smaller image and graphic files (10 - 100 MB), the machine creeps along at snail speed.
I cleaned up an almost exhausted Hard Disk, installed the new OS, and have done all my current software updates. Additionally, I've ran the Disk Utility and Repaired Disk Permissions to find only one real issue. Here is the log from that scan:
+Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”+
+Performing live verification.+

So in conclusion, I am at a loss as to why the machine is so **** slow. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not much of an IT dude, so I've pretty much exhausted my knowledge of this issue. Thanks!

I have no suggestions but like you I would love answers. Phone support gets me nowhere except 75 minute hold times. I am so disappointed with Apple. In one year, on a single machine, I have had 2 logic boards replaced (as part of the lower RAM slot recall), a hard drive replaced, an optical drive replaced, two batteries replaced (as part of another recall) and a power cord replacement... now my computer is running worse than it has ever run before - thanks to the terrible Beta version of leopard that crapple crappled on us.
I too am getting the same error messages while running disc utility (which takes about an hour now - as applecare described to me, it is because the machine is having a hard time indexing the spotlight feature (??)). But I think they are benign messages and not to be worried about. I wonder if errors related to these messages are really why our machines are performing at the level of the Apple IIGS. What troubles me is the tremendously slow performance - applecare had no ideas and said its best to wait until the update is released. it seems they are still in information gathering phase using suckers like me who ponied up 150 dollars to be unknowing apple product testers. It takes about 30 minutes to edit an album in itunes with color wheels spinning incessantly. I did a clean install before upgrading. System preferences crashes, wireless network access spotty to nonfunctional, and the computer has at times spontaneously gone to sleep. I feel foolish for believing the applecare specialist when he told me 3 weeks ago that my broken HFS volumes, invalid leaf structures and a disc management tool that could not be located would be sorted out by installing leopard. maybe they should rename 10.5 from leopard to turtle.
The last year has been tiresome and costly because apple does not create or adequately support their products; I wont be recommending apple products to my students or have my students learn using them in my classrooms ever again.
if only my rant could fix my machine...
