The context is that I moved the root file system and /var from one disk
to another with insufficient options to rsync.  I have already run
restorecon which enabled me to log in again.  Something is still wrong
because pulseaudio doesn't run anymore and the "users" command produces
no output.

What if I run "yum reinstall *"?  Re-installing all packages should fix
the rights, shouldn't it?
