I think you miss the point. I have already said they can be totally ignored. What I object to is the fact that you have to sort through dozens of lines of this “Special Permissions” information to get to any relevant information about any files that were actually repaired. What I now find myself doing is copying all the text in this window, pasting it in a Text Editor and doing a search for words like “changed to” or “should be.” jg On 2-Nov-05, at 7:45 AM, John McGibney wrote: > Ignore the "Special Permissions" they are reset by disk utility so > it can check the other permissions.
