Greetings:
I can't launch the Activity Monitor application found in Panther's Utility directory. What I get is the following listed in the Console:


2005-01-15 15:25:27.783 Activity Monitor[311] The tool is not setuid root - please repair the privileges


I've tried resetting the privileges of all files via the disk utility. It took over an hour. But in the end. No change.



How can I fix this error?

This should fix it:

cd '/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/Resources/'
sudo chown root:admin pmTool
sudo chmod u+s pmTool
