Constantly repairing permissions. Why?

If you got the message "Permissions repair complete" you have nothing to worry about. You can ignore these, they are not errors. It's just that Apple has not updated the Permissions database to reflect some updates. Apple has an article on errors you can safely ignore, but it's way out of date, so I won't bother linking to it.

Here are mine, for example.

Hi,

The "permissions" thing is a real pain in the ***. I have 4 Macs networked, and no matter how many times I "share" all files between them, in the middle of trying to access something, I get "permissions" problems.
Could there please just be some fix that allows a user to once and for all have access amongst their own files? Good grief! There must be far more users who network between their Macs than those who need security from being at a library or at work.
It's the nature of Mac users that we have home networks. I'm sick of the hassle of not being able to access my own files easily. I've had Macs since the early 90s. It didn't used to be this way!

The OP's question is about the log file after repairing permissions and I think your problem would be different from the OP's.

Why not start a new thread and you may get a better and faster responses? 😉

There is. It's called Windows. It let's everyone share your files and install whatever they want.

I get "permissions" problems.

It might be better if you posted this as it's own separate topic and be a little more specific in the problem you are having and your network and account configuration. I share files between my networked Macs with out any issues at all.

I was about to post a similar thread. I find myself repairing permissions at least once a week.

Why? I never do.
