So, i checked my shell history yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I skipped the chown step.
Checking the permissions/owner flags, however, reveals something very odd.
Group was set according to the user. Owner was set to a numerical value 5000+owner.
Putting real numbers on this, given the user user519, numerical userid:groupid 519:519,
the owner:group for /home/user519/.mozilla/plugin/libflashplayer.so was 5519:519 when I checked this morning.
Now, I did not erase the previous version of libflashplayer, so the usual rules for cp without -p or a similar option (as I recall, and I don't see the specifics in the man entry right now) would be to leave the existing owner:group when overwriting. So I should not be surprised had the owner:group been 519:519 in the example above. Needless to say, I don't know of anything but a bug that would give me owner+5000.
(Unless I dozed off while my fingers were still typing, as I sometimes do these days. Hate it when I do that. Gotta get more sleep. But I still can't imagine what I might have done, sleep-typing, to end up with that, and I don't see any record of such a thing in my .history file.)
And, having chown-ed to (per the example above) user519, flash still refuses to run youtube for us.
Anyone else having issues with this version of flash? -- Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202.
And anyone have an idea why the owner of a file would end up 5000+userid?
