Hello,

quite recently I mistakenly did something like chown -R jr /

and got a few error messages before I could kill the process.

Anyway, does this look odd for ownership

[jr@bb497-175 root]$ ls -lat / | grep jr
drwxr-xr-x   81 jr root 12288 Jul  8 14:43 etc
drwxr-xr-x   23 jr root  4096 Jul  8 14:39 .
drwxr-xr-x   23 jr root  4096 Jul  8 14:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x    4 jr root  1024 Jul  8 08:28 boot

I wonder if etc and boot shouldn't properly be owned by root?

Dare I try changing them back?

Shawn
