I ran Verify Disk Permissions and Repair and received an error message
for all the folders in the Library Folder. 'ACl found but not expected'.

Unable in Mac Help to find anything on this. Went thru Robin Williams'
book, Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and no reference there either.

The only change of late is downloads have gone to a crawl. From average 1.5
MB to 100 to 200 KB. Haven't figured that one out yet. Otherwise, all's
well.

What is ACL? What action, if any, should I take.

Suggestions?

Thank you,

FWIW, running Verify Disk Permissions is a waste of time...there's never
any harm in actually repairing them.

You can Google ACL to discover that it's an Access Control List. It's
an extended way of managing permissions on a file or folder that's
supported in Leopard (maybe in Tiger, don't recall).

There's really no action you can take, that I'm aware of, since that
message from Disk Utility is informational -- it's telling you it found
one when it didn't expect one, and does nothing about it.

Thanks, clearer now. Must have had a
senior minute there; Google did not even occur to me at all.

Thanks again.
