Restoring permissions via terminal.

Yup, the title says it all. I, for some reason, can't fix disk permissions on my 700Mhz eMac (Mac OS X.2.8) - the options are greyed out in disk utility - so if anyone could tell me how to do it with terminal that would be great! Cheers.

That's actually really useful, it should be a how-to.

With the way OS X has been handling permissions, I think most people should add this to a daily cron routine...

[sneakily]watch 10.4 do exactly that, เ la fix_prebinding[/sneakily]
