repair permissions weirdness ...
i recently moved my wife's pb over to osx 10.2.6 - clean install of 10.2 + updates.
i also copied some files (music, pics, etc.) from my pb to hers using mine in target disc mode.
after installing some programms on my wife's pb i ran disc utility to repair permissions. however, instead of the usual few textlines showing up in the "output window", suddenly there was a whole sh*tload of text that continuously poured into the window at high speed.
i have repaired disc permissions before and i have never seen this amount of text and i have never seen it going thru every single app/iapp and saying "owner and group not corrected. reason operation not permitted"
is this something i should worry about?
