security update 2006-04 crap

Hi st!

Have you run Repair Permissions?
It may not help, but it can't hurt!

TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK

1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)

Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
"We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
New permissions are 33261"

This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.

Or these:
"We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
"We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"

Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.

There may be others that you can ignore. Complete list at link below.

Spurious Permissions Errors Using:
Panther 10.3.x


When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

Good Luck!

Hi Again Seb T!

Some Users have reported, that reinstalling the 10.3.9 Combo Update, will sometimes, clear up problems.

Hi, have you checked out the Console? It's in Applications > Utilities, and it will tell you what the apps say before they die. I don't know much about Safari, but if you try trashing its preference file, it might help.

HTH,
