I was resetting permissions on /var/www and screwed it up!
Now I get frequent problems connecting to mysql, using the package manager because /var has fairly open permissions.
Anyone know if /var is a fairly blanket
sudo chmod -R 700 *
Help!

Most directories should be 755 and owned by root. Sadly not everything should be that. If you do a recursive permission change, you will do significantly more damage. On my machine, I have: mojo-jojo david% sudo find /var -type d ! -perm 755 -ls 278532 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 Oct 20 2008 /var/local 286930 4 drwx-wx--T 2 root crontab 4096 Sep 9 2008

You say package manager, I'm guessing you're running Ubuntu? Unfortunately, if you're running an apt-based distro, then you'll have to do it manually like David states. If you're running an RPM-based distro, you can do this: for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setperms $p; done for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setugids $p; done That's one of the few advantages RPM has over deb/apt. | |||
