Here's the checklist I have so far: 1 - /home partition - separate drive 2 - Files copied to the second drive: /etc/X11/xorg.conf rpm for RPM forge /etc/yum - entire folder /etc/yum/repos.d - entire folder /etc/yum.conf /etc/yumex.conf /etc/yumex.profiles.conf 3 - Files installed via Yum(ex) - Hmmm, need to figure this one out. Any pointers?
Sounds like the rpm --setugids didn't work?
May have, but something is still funky with the user profiles.
You can fix home directories with this shell command:
getent passwd | awk -F: '{system("if [ -d /home/"$1" ]; then chown -R "$3":"$4" /home/"$1"; fi")}'
These ticks are the straight or forward ticks beside the <Enter> key.
This will set all user home directory ownership back to their own.
Re-installing will not fix these perms anyways!
It will if I say screw it and wipe everything! ;-) Well, except for bookmarks and mailfiles... There's only a couple of those...
