I was recently introduced to the console appIication and I think I might be spending too much time looking at the logs. LOL

Anyway, is this anything to be concerned with?

Click here to access the article. The original link didn't work because it contained an & followed by a #; this combination of characters is never necessary, and will sometimes break the link. If an URL contains that combination, remove the last & before you post it.

The article isnt there.
?

Sorry, the something odd happened to the link. Use the link in Niel's post. It looks like maybe the forum software tried to encode the "#".

This link should go to Niel's post with the correct link.

This link just goes to the top of the thread.

EDIT: My bad, I must have stuck that extra character in there, since the links in this post work for me now.

Ok I understand everything in that article you posted. I've been aware of those changes from the updates fom 10.4.2 up to 10.4.7.

But, that is not what I'm talking about; let me re-explain the post you replied to.
When I used the Disk Utility, on the start up disk, to repair Disk Permissions, it made many "corrections." I then ran it again a secon time to make sure it was cleared up-which it was.

A while after, an hour later I was updating my Istat Pro Widget. I decided to repair permissions after the update, which is what I always do after installing, or updating an application. And, when I ran disk utility on the HD, I got a whole bunch of "corrections" that needed repair; which all looked very siimilar to the permissions that needed "corrections."

Im not talking about "we are using specail permissions"

And, I bet my money on it , if I was to re-boot using my start up disk it would then repair all the same permissions again.

I have no clue, other than the fact that I am using a 10.4.2 start up disk, to repair a 10.4.7 OS.

You don't have to do that. You can repair permissions using Disk Utility on the drive you've started from. You just can't repair the file system, which is a whole different thing.

Repair permissions while you're booted from your hard disk and copy out the text and past it here. I'll take a look at it and see if anything looks suspicious.
