I've think I've shot myself in the foot! Date: 26 Feb 1994 15:18:41 GMT Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Lines: 24 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2knp8h$sud@homer.cs.mcgill.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: marge.cs.mcgill.ca Alrighty. I'm running NetBSD-0.9, and I've run into some big trouble. Recently, I installed a new drive, and copied /usr over to it. During the process, I think I've screwed up the permissions, so that *nothing* works properly (well, a few things do), most notably passwd...So I am having problem setting up user accounts, I can't do it (since the user couldn't change their own password). Is there a program out there, or even any general set of guidelines that will describe the ownership/group/permissions characteristics of stuff in the /usr tree? This is the only thing I can think of that might be wrong... If anyone can help me out here, I would be greatly appreciative.
