I know these information is no very precise. sorry for that. Here my question: Is there a program under SUSE 7.2 that does this ? or can only root do this or one of his skripts ?
Yes ... I guess you are new to SuSE. chkstat is a script that is probably being called by SuSEconfig. (YaST is probably running SuSEconfig for you when you use YaST to install packages.) Look at these keys in /etc/rc.config to configure chkstat, or disable it: CHECK_PERMISSIONS PERMISSION_SECURITY chkstat can chown, chmod and chgrp for you, and is generally your friend. SuSE wrote it and a man page for it. Enjoy. dproc
