hello all,


After restoring an imaged OS (10.4.2) (instead of a complete re-install, I restored an image created for that purpose), I've noticed that when changing the sharing prefs (like the computer name, or adding/editing network ports), it takes forever (to be honest I never waited more than 5 minutes, I would then force quit system prefs).

When logged as root, I can change those prefs instantaniously...

Is this a permissions issue because of my OS restore?

Have you tried repairing your permissions?

I just restored an entire lab with an image and have never had any problems.

yep, did that...

It happened before with Panther, I realised that I had some items repeated in/etc
I haven't had the chance to check it still, but probably it's the same...
I think this happens because of the permissions, I suppose the system ignores the original ones because they've got a different permission, and creates a new one...

The reason for this post was to see if anyone had a "quick" cure...
