restore all the filesystem to its default owner

[Wang Xueyan]

If the onwer of the system directories and files such as /opt,/usr,/var has been changed, is there anyway to restore all of the files to its default owner instead of "chown" one by one?

Hi,

You can try to use this doc.

But if you have a backup, it would be easier.

Kind regards,
Robert-Jan.

You can try to use swverify -F to fix file permissions on patches, but recall that it's not going to be patch sensitive.
swlist -a install_data | sort -k 2
should show an ordered install date (command line off the top of my head - but the idea is right!)
then swverify -F the ordered output.
ignore errors such as filesize changes because of patch sensitivity issues.
You will of course need to have correct permissions on swverify first..

But as stated, this'd be much better if _everything_ was not changed, a restore would be preferred.
