Anyone having problems should try it
Authored by: Xeo on Aug 22, '03 08:45:13PM

Repairing permissions has become one of the first troubleshooting steps I try when something starts going crazy on me. It works often enough and I've never had it *hurt* so it's always worth a shot.

And remember, you can repair permissions from the OS X Install CD so even if you can't boot your machine, at least try repairing from the CD before you reinstall.

I'm a mistrusting sort.

I prefer to run diskutil verifyPermissions /

and decide for myself whether something should be fixed..
