If I repair permissions using Onyx and immediately afterwards repair them again with Disk Utility I get the msg that the iso9660 permissions are incorrect and Disk Utility fixes them. Obviously Onyx (and possibly also Cocktail and some of the other third party stuff) does not use these special permissions. Why should there be these special permissions and why doesn't Onyx pick this up? Possibly one for the developer. cheers, Chris
