I messed up all permissions - Is there a way to fix?
i made a small script as shown here: chown filepro -fR *; chgrp filepro -fR ; chmod -fR 755 *
Above works great if i was below the main filepro directory ==>> /appl
but i was at / directory in error. Yes very very bad. Any suggestions on what i could do to fix all permissions?
Thank You - Old Tony

for f in $(rpm -qa); do echo $f; rpm --setperms $f; done
1. Boot your server and use the arrow keys to select the kernel you would like to boot into.
2. Press A , to append parameters to your grub boot settings.
3. Be carefull not to change anything, only add the following:
Code:
single
(Mind you there is a space before single).
4. Press enter. you will be presented with a prompt.
5. At this prompt type the following commands (followed by a return). You will be asked to provide a new password. Reset both your root and you admin password and set them to the same value:
Code:
passwd root
Code:
passwd admin
.
6. Reboot your server and everything should be okay now.
