I did this earlier today without thinking about it (Doh!) and then noticed that some files associated with the latest security issue in Safari were repaired. As I had patched this with various solutions, (first an AppleScript that replaced the help file and later the More Internet patch and lastly Apples own update), now I am unsure about the permissions and their effect and am having to go through the whole thing manually again to see what I have done, it would have been better to have 'measured twice and cut once' IOW, verify and see the results and then decide how this will affect the system stability and security.
