Q: Repair permissions does't work after 10.6 upgrade

I run Disk Utility, it repairs a list of permissions, finishes, then Verify shoes all still need repair. This happened with 2 other 3rd party repairs,too.The log never changes. The iMac seems to operate well except this glitch.

The Apple "genius" never got the iMac to boot up with their net source and diagnostics were never used. He

surmised the system was OK.

Yes , I've seen the "ignore SUID" article which only occured once in my case. No offense intended in my reply,

(depends on mind set), it was the most concise discription of my concern. Also the link was appreciated muchly.

This action seems as if the "Receips" folder is missing. If I reinstalled SL over existing SL would in replace anything missing? In this situation I can't ever know if First Aid is working or not - until the iMac becomes

disfunctional. All is well for now but for how long? Thanks for your reply.

Thanx, BD. Enough said.
