-----Original Message----- From: David Woyciesjes [mailto:david.woyciesjes@yale.edu] So if I'm following this right, then I just need to run rpm --setugids `rpm -qa` as root, from /, and this should set the owner &
groups on all
files, as appropriate? Except for of course the files in /home? As for my original plan, I saw krename in yum. At
first glance,
that looks like it should do what I wanted. Anyone have experience with it?
Not sure what krename does, but yes an rpm --setugids `rpm
-qa` and an
rpm --setperms `rpm -qa` will reset all file perms and
ownership for all
files managed under RPM.
I gave a simple awk command to reset the perms in /home in
an earlier
post, basically using awk to parse the passwd fields and
then issuing a
shell statement with them.
Thanks Ross. I didn't do anything with file permissions(that I'm
aware of), so I shouldn't have to use the --setperms, right?
Just tried rpm --setugids `rpm -qa`, and got "sh: line2: package:
command not found". Now to figure out where that one comes from...
Check your quotes. That just might be rpm --setugids `rpm -qa'
Quotes are correct I think he has popt uninstalled and so it is barfing on the alias command.
