Repair Permissions

[Jackrushing]

I ran a Permissions repair check, and received the readout :
SUID File System/Library/Core left as is,will not be repaired.
In Red Letters. What is a SUID FILE? I am using a Mac Pro,
running 10.6.2

Google, learn it, live it, love it. Took me about 2 minutes to sort through enough Apple discussion threads and it all comes down to A KB article from Apple saying nothing to see here.

Thanks, djackmac. I was just wondering. After running the check, and receiving the message, my computer would not shut down. I finally killed it
with the startup button. Then the computer would not boot. I tried about every
method known, and ended up having to erase and re-install.

That SUID item, and the inability to shutdown/restart, are not related in any way. Just a coincidence.
