I very stupidly managed to do chown user:[username] .* -R earlier as root and managed to change the file permissions of most of my system before i realised exactly what i had done.
I can log in as root but pppd complains about permissions and i cannot su from my user account.
Is there an easy way to put this right as i have Win4Lin etc installed and to reinstall from scratch would take an age
What a cool way to break linux !!! i managed to do # rm -f /etc/passwd once, that was pretty good screw up too.. oops, i had to re-install.... Well i can see if ican email you a .BZ2 of the file permissions of my system... Altermativly i would use linuxconf in RedHat, it checks file permissions and ownerships automatically Kewel eh.. another reason why i use RH !
