From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050517 Firefox/1.0+ Description of problem: I propose a new /usr/bin/rpmfixmodes that will return all or a selection of files (chosen by filename or package) to the values in the RPM DB thus returning to conformity with rpmverify. I have a quick draft script at http://www.notatla.org.uk/SOFTWARE/linux_filemode_recovery.txt but withot the file selection logic. A dry run reporting planned actions would also be desirable. If there is interest in including such a tool I'm happy do develop it (in Perl) and contribute it under GPL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. chmod -R 777 / 2. echo Oh Bother 3. Actual Results: filemodes are now wrong Expected Results: as expected - you asked for it; you got it Additional info:
How does this differ from RPM's "--setperms" and/or "--setugids" options?
Doesn't differ at all.
