The rpm-databse contains all you need to know (almost, it wont cover files not owned by any package). "rpm -V PKG" will tell you if that package has files that have been modified since install, including uid:gid). The information can be obtained (dumped) with something like: # rpm --dump -ql PKG which would give you a list of all files in PKG and (among other things) their original uid:gid. I know of no automated way of restoring this so implementing x (rpm --dump -qal | x ) is left as an exercise ;-) /Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
