[MacTUG] MacFixIt - Repair Permissions: A false panacea?

[Marlon A. Griffith]

Good discussion of how repairing permissions can help you maintain your mac.

======================================
"""
There has been a growing debate on various forums and Mac Web sites 
over the worth of Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" function as a 
troubleshooting procedure.

In particular, some prominent users have claimed that repairing 
permissions is akin to incantation, and doing so before or after 
applying a Mac OS X update (as we've recommended a number of times on 
MacFixIt) is pointless.
