Ah, the power! I think verify does not repair though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Castonguay" <jcast@xxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 2:42 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Repairing permissions. Hello. Just to add to Keith's information: If you are a Linux terminal fan, you may find the procedure there a little easier as I did. At the terminal prompt, enter the following: diskutil repairpermissions / You can also type: diskutil verifypermissions / but both appear to do the same thing. There are a lot of things one can do with this command and you can find out just what by reading the man page: man diskutil Perhaps no one cares about this stuff, but I thought I'd put it out there for those who might like to know.
