Ive been confused about this for some time and I thought now was better than ever to ask.
Everytime I verify and repair my disk permissions i allways get.
"Verify permissions for “Tims Drive”
Determining correct file permissions.
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays. New permissions are 16893
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/ColorSync/Profiles. New permissions are 16893
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util. New permissions are 33261
We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1
We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1
The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
Permissions verification complete"
It used to just be four that I had to repair but now I get
"We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util. New permissions are 33261"
The 'file system' thing worrys me abit
Is there anyway to prevent these permissions messing up? what is actually wrong when there is a problem with a permission? what are permissions?, what are the permissions that I have quoted used for and what it the difference between verifying and repairing, seems like it does the same thing to me.
It just seems that it disk utility never actually repairs anything
Thanks for reading and I hope that someone can answer some of my questions
