I just shot myself in the foot by change the owner/perms on the contents of the root directory (my bad!!!). I have done a quick compare with a running RHEL3U8 system and think I have every thing back to what it should be except for new directories media and selinux. Can someone out there currently running 4.3 send me an "ls -l" of their root directory so I can make sure I have got everything back as it should be? Alternately is there some command within Linux that will fix these up for me (we used to have something like this on SCO OSR5 but I have not been able to locate anything for Linux)?
Assuming you have (or can obtain) a list of packages on the sytem... rpm --setperms --setugids <packagename> will restore the package to the original permissions and ownership. This will still leave a few files out in teh cold as not everything is owned by an rpm. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
