Installed OS X 10.8 and ran Disk Utility for permissions repair.

This is the LOG:


2012-08-13 14:21:36 -0700: Disk Utility started.

--------

Is there anything here which is cause for alarm? I am puzzled by the red highlighted (mine) information in the LOG. Is ACL a matter of concern?

Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore

The document hasn't been updated since Snow Leopard, but I doubt the status has changed.

I'm Snow Leopard but get the same "Warning: SUID file...." and ACL found but...." cautions. In fact, I've been getting them for so long now that I just use them as a handy way to know I'm near the end of the permissions repair process.

Hamlet was wrong . . . all IS well in the state of Denmark.

Thanks for the assurances.
