[Ti] Disk Permissions

[Kynan Shook]

Pay a visit to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107230 
and you'll find the following problem description:
'Disk Utility reports: "Group differs on ./private/var/run/utmp, should 
be 0, group is 1"'
With the following solution:
'The message is not accurate and is not a cause for concern.'

Ignore it, and return to your regularly scheduled life.  :-)

A future version of Disk Utility should automatically ignore that file.
