In principle it's possible to build a script around "rpm" using "rpm - qa" to list all packages and "rpm -qlv packagename" to list all the files with permissions in that package and then use chmod to repair the permissions on each file. However, I can't find such a script after a quick google so it might be quicker just to reinstall the system. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
