Hi!

I did a bloody error. I made a permissions script to be executed in a special directory (my ftp-dir) but I executed it by webmin, so no path was set and the script changed all default permissions on / recursively. SuSEconfig brought me some control over the system back and even chowned /usr/lib to root:bin. Does anybody know the default permissions on SuSE 7.3 or to wich mailinglist I could write this?

By the looks of it, you can use rpm to re-set the permissions of all installed packages to what they should be. Obviously, I'm a little reluctant to test this ;-) Have a look at the rpm manual, particularly the --setperms option.

Seems like I did it working with your help! I wrote a small script and took all the packages from the installogs. The script looked like this example: PACKAGES="test test1 ... lastone" for i in "$PACKAGES"; rpm --setperms $i done Many thanks! Philippe
