I need to repair permission on volumes other than my startup volumes. Disk Utility will only repair permissions on startup volumes.

Apple has RepairPrivileges1.1.dmg but it says
OS 10.1.5 ONLY.

I am running 10.2.1

Can this SAFELY be used?
Is there some other utility?

Disk Utility and Repair Permissions only repair system file permissions. This is because Apple can not know how you would like to have your permissions set on your own files. Even if you could run them on non-startup disks, they wouldn't do anything (thank God).
