Let's say for instance you installed the CHUD Tools 3.0b24 (available publicly). There's a bug in the owner:group permissions (/Library/PreferencePanes is switched to root:wheel whereas the default setting is root:admin).

i'm just about to install that. what does that mean? does something need changing once installed?

What it means is that Admin users won't be able to write to the PreferencePanes directory (so they won't be able to install new preference panes without having root privileges).

Just do

sudo chown root.admin /Library/PreferencePanes

and you'll be fine.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
