That should at least get your init scrips, and important configs back to the right permissions. I've never actually tried that however, so take it with a grain of salt. I would agree with most people on the list tho. Maybe its time for a machine upgrade and just re-emerge everything. Either way tho, I'm betting its going to take a lot of legwork to get things back to the way they were before hand. Also maybe its time to chroot your customers to keep them from screwing things up again :) On Thu, Jan 04, 2007 at 09:04:15PM -0800, Joshua Schmidlkofer wrote: > Hey, a customer on a hosted server did this today: > > sudo chown -R lighttpd / > > -- > > You can imagine that things are a little borked.
