Changing the "/" attributes

[Jimmy Roux_1]

How do you change the uid/gid of the following:

WARNING: [40259] Directory "/" should have owner,uid "root,0" but the
actual owner,uid is "bin,2".
WARNING: [40261] Directory "/" should have group,gid "root,0" but the
actual group,gid is "bin,2".

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

Try,

chown root:root /.

here /. referes to / directory.

Hope this helps.

How do you check current attributes of "/"?

[Sanjay_6]

Hi,

Try,

cd /
ls -ld .

if it is owned by someone other than root:root, do chown to change the permissions,

chown root:root .

or

chown root:root /.

Hope this helps.

# ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1024 Dec 22 20:12 /
