[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1226491, member: 56379"] I with ya!:) Repairing permissions is just too darn easy to do...so why not!;) What it does, or how it does it's magic...I don't need to know the details. But when I see this: [b]...Permissions differ...[u]should be[/u] lrwxr-xr-x , [u]they are[/u] lrw-r--r--...[/b] All I know is...if Disk Utility fixes it to what it "should be" from what "they are"...then I'm all good!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
