Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is it normal to get lots of permissions disparities? I seem to be getting far too many!?

As it says, I seem to be getting way too many permissions issues no matter how many times I repair permissions.

I am not going to say that the answers provided above are horsepuckey. They are perfectly fine for the people that posted them. However, I think it important that I re-post this here, as the information presented by the OP is entirely relevant:


I'm going to post this again, because it's the right😁 thing to do. I have had this problem, and indeed still do on one of my laptops. I am running the relevant version of Leopard to post my solution in this forum. If this solution is deleted, then that is clearly a biased breach of Apple's own guidelines.


Just to be 'polite', we won't call it a 'problem.' Lets just call it an 'unwanted file', as located by a certain permission error which will remain nameless...


Go to mac hd/system/library/coreservices/remote management. Right click for info, and enter your admin password to add yourself as a user with read/write access. Click on the gear next to the lock and hit 'apply to contents'. Then right click on the file again, and compress it so you have a zipped file for later (in case you want to use Remote Desktop yourself in the future). Now drag the original file to the trash, open the trash, and opt-click to delete it. I have had some issues with it saying certain processes were stil running- that weren't connected to the files I was trying to delete- and therefore not being able to continue. However, that was one the computer (running Leopard) that has had this issue for 1 1/2 years. I would be interested to know if anyone has had a similar issue there. However, on the computer I am using right now, this solution worked fine. When I ran DU again, the permissions were fine. I guess it 'will be repaired' after all!


Please look up 'ARD agent' (try to stick to [ahem] non-corporate sites) yourself for further information. I will post this information elsewhere, as I believe this particular thread has been blocked from public view.


I am going to post these pictures as 'proof' of it being a personal issue, uneccessary as that should be.

Good day.



*Also, I would like to state that the list of 'unimportant' or 'ignorable' permissions errors has a rating of three stars or less, for VERY good reason. If you do research the connotations of this particular error, you may find it just as outrageous as suspicious as I and apparently many others do. Just saying.


**Furthermore, this particular issue (the SUID/ARDagent/RemoteManagement problem) does not come up in red- that would indicate disk error, and I find is extremely misleading to state that as the only cause for concern. This particular error does state that it will not be repaired, and is not when you attempt to repair it. The only solution i have found to it and the many problems it 'seemed' to cause me was by taking the steps I list above.


***My strange way of reposting this information is due to it previously being deleted by Apple for being 'untested', which is why I have now posted these pictures of the permissions issue, the problem I had taking out the trash, and the issue being (apparently) resolved on one of my computers. I would be very careful how you phrase related questions on these boards... Any mention of whose responsibility it should be to provide a fix for this problem, or call the problem itself an 'infiltration', or other 'bad words', will earn you a quick deletion.


As just a general (NOT SPECIFIC) reference, please have a look at:

Thank you.

Is it normal to get lots of permissions disparities? I seem to be getting far too many!?
