So since this AM ran Correct Disk Permissions again . Get 2003-01-07 14:06:52 -0500 - Repair of privileges has started We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/hfs.fs/hfs.util. New permissions are 33261 Group differs on ./private/var/run/utmp, should be 0, group is 1 Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/run/utmp Permissions corrected on ./private/var/run/utmp 2003-01-07 14:18:40 -0500 - The privileges have been repaired on the selected volume. Then I went to Apple Discussions and found the following: http://kbase.info.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/kbase.woa/wa/query?searchMode =Assisted&type=id&val=KC.107298 http://kbase.info.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/kbase.woa/wa/query?searchMode =Assisted&type=id&val=KC.107230 So maybe at least these are not a problem.
