Many people praise Onyx as being the best maintenance utility. It repeatedly fails to repair permissions on my Mac OS 10.75. Any suggestions ? Apple's Disk Utility also fails to completely repair permissions (mostly in the iTunes app resources area) despite multiple runs, and also announces "Warning: SUID file System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent” has been modified and will not be repaired".

What does this mean ?

Because there are well over a hundred that will not be repaired.

Ignore them.

The ARDAgent has been the first one that will not be repaired after a new OS is installed at least since 10.4.
Don't ask me why. Don't have a clue why Apple can't update the app that repairs permissions with the appropriate permissions as other pieces of the software are updated, but they don't.

Here is Apple's list of the ones you should ignore:
