Yes, as setting permissions is done on the fly on any Unix-system. In fact,
I believe - somebody please correct me if I am wrong - that it is better to
run the Permissions repair job from the harddrive, as that one will have the
latest settings, provided with the current OS update. These are not
necessarily the same as those on the CD.
