Directory Permissions


Good day All

I had a slip a while ago and changed permissions on all files/dirs in /var to 
600. Obviously this stuffed a lot of things.

Is there a way of getting all the permissions the way it was/should be. I'm 
running Mandrake 7.2

I changed all permissions to 777 just to get all running again. I then got a 
huge list from my security program stating every file/dir and said that it 
was world writable. I then decided to go in and change every dir the security 
system was complaining about to 755. This caused a number of things to stop 
working again.

Thanks
