How to list default perms of system files

[paul_xedos]

Hi,

A user has run "chmod -R 777 /" in order to 'tidy things up'. Is there a way of finding out the default perms of system files by means of the package database so that I can knock up a chmod script to revert things back?

Thanks
Paul

Hi:

You can attempt a full repair by doing (with patience):

# swverify -F \*

This will take some time, but should fix things. Then, break the user's fingers and/or at the least don't give him/her root access.

Regards!

Chaps,

Thanks very much for your help. The swverify did the trick - or at least I think it is, as its still running but its looking good so far

Cheers
