Product Description:

This package runs the CLI repair disk permissions command. Great for using with ARD/NetBoot ***THERE IS NO APPLICATION!*** (the installer IS the program!) When the "installer" is run, Disk Utility runs its "repair permissions" command in the background. If you want to "repair permissions" again, "install" the package again.

What's new in this version:

More logging for system events
Log files now placed in separate directory (/Library/Logs/SISUWORKS/FixPermissionsBySW.log)
Reduced dependency on executing commands as root, due to the fact that root authentication is required anyways
Forced Software to only run on Root volume (currently booted volume) to clear up some confusion

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or later

dmg fails to mount w/ Max OS X 10.3.9 - Version: 2.5, 1/6/2006 02:06PM PST

caesurae

i could not mount the .dmg file, with an error message reporting a "corrupt image." i have ran into this quite a few times lately...i'm pretty sure it has to do with a new 10.4/Tiger-only .dmg option. (i personally still use 10.3.9.) apparently there is a new type of .dmg file that can only be mounted with Mac OS X 10.4.x.

all the recent updates from this developer have this problem, including Clean Caches By SW 3.0, Fix Permissions By SW 2.5, and Software Update By SW 2.5.

i don't know if this increasingly common problem is the fault of developers not reading the documentation...or of Apple not making it clear that these disk images don't mount on pre-Tiger systems, but i wish that someone would straighten this mess out.
