Thanks for your reply.
Let me ask you a qestion.
I have one user, computation, on the machine in addition to root. I set the permissions on the /etc tree to computation.users, but the /bin directory, and hence both csh and tcsh are set root.root. Should this be changed, also. Or am I going about this incorrectly?
Here is my / director listing
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 560 2005-04-30 13:49 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 560 2005-04-30 13:49 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2896 2005-04-27 10:45 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 536 2005-04-24 08:43 boot drwxr-xr-x 21 computation users 4096 2005-04-23 13:10 data1 drwxr-xr-x 13 computation users 336 2005-04-29 14:21 data2 drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 181968 2005-04-30 08:02 dev -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2005-04-30 13:49 dir.txt drwxr-xr-x 97 root root 8776 2005-04-30 08:02 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 2005-04-24 09:40 home drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 3640 2005-04-25 09:22 lib drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 144 2005-04-29 14:34 media drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2005-03-23 16:34 mnt drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 280 2005-04-28 08:56 opt dr-xr-xr-x 122 root root 0 2005-04-30 04:01 proc drwx------ 22 root root 1056 2005-04-30 13:49 root drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 9056 2005-04-24 10:07 sbin drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2005-04-24 09:13 srv drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 0 2005-04-30 04:01 sys drwxrwxrwt 26 root root 50512 2005-04-30 13:45 tmp drwxr-xr-x 13 computation users 368 2005-04-24 14:03 usr drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 360 2005-04-24 08:36 var
Thanks in advance.
Why are you changing the owner/group on /usr? Put it back to root.root or you will have further system problems. Who knows what else you could have screwed up. Please do not change the perms/owner of system files/dirs unless you want to end up installing your system fresh again.
What about /data1 and /data2?
