RE: GLUG: Directory Permissions

Only fool proof way I can think of is to revert to a known-good backup.
Other than that I think you're going to struggle

Subject: GLUG: 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

Pierre Bosman
