A couple of days ago, I noted that I was having problems with my
printer that was fixed by running Disk Util and taking care of
permissions. Next two days same problem and same fix. Today I tried to
do a Super Duper at it would not run either until I fixed permissions.
Any ideas as to how worried I should be about this? Any place in the
logs I should go looking for information?

What was the item with the bad permissions? Same one each time?

These are the three DUtils I have done since the problems started.
Looks like the only on-going concern is
_____
parent directory ./Users/Shared/SC Info does not exist
Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw-------
, they are -rw-r-----
Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log

Symbolic link ./tmp->private/tmp repaired

This popped up in all of them.

SC Info is an iTunes issue. I've seem some stuff on Google about it.
secure.log happens all the time.
Symbolic link to tmp ... difficult to say why it would break. I don't know
the impact of it being broken.
