Rtrieve default permission

I'm looking for a way to retreive file permission of entire file system.
I executed command
usermod -u 500 -g 500 nobody.
After that, owner of all file and directory changed to nobody.
Is there any way to get back permission to initial state of first installed state.
Thanks.

The best you can do is to restore your last full system backup.

Hi:

I think you are stuck restoring your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files along with all of the directories and files you changed. Hopefully you're backups are current and changes in the affected directories have been at a minimum. Good luck.

Hi,

Restoring files from your latest backup seems to be the only way of having all file permissions restored to their original settings.

Best regards,

Dan
