Yet Another Permissions Debate Post
Gruber – “Seriously, ‘Repair Permissions’ Is Voodoo”
MacFixIt – “Repair Permissions: A false panacea?”
Like I said, the debate rages on…
However, to make the point final, once and for all, I’d like to point out that Apple DOES recommend permissions be repaired after a system update, or software installation. The following screen shot is taken from the help document of the current version of Disk Utility (10.5.5) which ships with OS X 10.4.6. Do a search for “permissions” and there it is.

So… I think this settles it. Yes?
