Disk Permission Problem

The last 3 times I have ran verify disk permissions and it comes up with the same error...

Group differs on “private/etc/cups”, should be 0, group is 26.
Permissions differ on “private/var/spool/cups.rss”, should be drwxr-xrx... (this is all that I can see before it is cut off)

When I repair disk permissions this appears to either
A.) not get fixed
or
B.) something causes the same error to reappear...


Why do ya'll think I continually get this same error and how can I fix it? I think it might be coinciding with my degrading performance of my MB.

Thanks

bump ... cmon one of you pros has to have a clue about this

Are you running it off of the cd?

BTW, permissions on a print spool shouldn't be causing degraded performance. Actually, permissions themselves rarely would for most things. When was the last time you ran

sudo periodic daily weekly monthly


?

Not sure whatyou mean by running it off of the cd...
but when I pull up disk utility I select the HD...

I have ran that multiple times since I started getting degraded performance.

boot from your recovery CD and run it from that.

Can you explain to me more about the running from the recovery disk? And the point of doing that?

Thanks

Have you upgraded to X.5.5? If so suggest run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility as there were a number of changes back in X.5.1 or X.5.2. Is the machine experiencing any problems? if not just ignore it.

You can always boot from the Leopard DVD, go to Utilities and run Repair Disk from there to see if that helps.

There have consistently been SUID, group differs messages etc with OS X of no consequence. Just do a Google search and you will see myriads of responses including some from Apple advising ignore.

Cannot tell you why the OS does this - maybe the difference between machine models, PowerBooks, G4 Towers, Mac Pros, MacBooks etc etc.
