    I have a white Mac Book and I am trying to install keyremap4mac, but it tells me that I have installed "double command".

    I deleted double command but in my library/startupitems/ there is a folder "doublecommand" which can't be deleted or renamed.

    I tried everything, but when I tried terminal delete, it said that I don't have permissions.

    sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
Segmentation fault

    So I used disk utility to repair permissions and I got this

    User differs on "Library/StartupItems", should be 0, user is 501
Permissions differ on "Library/StartupItems", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are dr-x---r-x

    I tried to press Cmd+S on start, logged in as root logged in as su.

    Tried putting this command 

    chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers

    And nothing works I can't repair whatever and can't delete that damn folder. I

    I enabled root user, created password , logged in but still with no avail. Can't delete folder.

    I was using Disk Utility to do a "Verify Permission" and I got the following message:

    It's a known issue, and actually a bogus message.

    It has been around since Mac OS X 10.5, and while it has changed for Mac OS X 10.6, the issue still arises...

    "You can safely ignore this message. It is accurate, but not a cause for concern." (Apple Support 2007-11-06 — Document No. 306925)

    Resolution You can safely ignore these messages. You can also usually ignore any "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages can occur if you change permissions on a file or directory. These messages are accurate but are generally not a cause for concern.
