One problem with this is that _if_ permissions are hosed, fixing them might not be enough to fix the problems one can have when they're 'unfixed': A reboot is often necessary... So: The cron (or anacron) job does its job, but you don't know whether there actually _were_ problems with permissions. I rather fix permissions once a week by hand - and if I see something weird come up in the process, I also reboot.

Ceterum censeo that Apple should try and fix the problem of always having to fix permissions... *sigh*
