[NTLUG:Discuss] Restore owners

[Greg Edwards]

How can I restore ownerships on a block of files on a RHEL system?  I
know that this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it in
the archives.

 

IIRC, RH keeps a file that is part of the security monitoring system and
logs the ownerships as of yesterday.  I don't remember where this is
kept and if RH has a command that will restore the ownerships in bulk.
If I have the file I can write my own script to get it fixed.

 

This was a case of fat fingers and trying to work faster that I think!!!
I was 1 dir up from where I should have been and changed everything in
/usr/lib, ugh!!

 

TIA
