Hi all,
This is what I did to resolve the accidental(brain-dead) changing
of all files to a user account:
rpm -qlav | awk '{printf "chown %s.%s %s\n", $2, $3, $8}' > /tmp/fixem
Then I edited fixem to get rid of some wierd files that were just numbers.
Wonder what these were.
Then I ran fixem. It chugged away for about 5 minutes. When completed
there were still many files and directories around that were not changed.
I did a find for these files, looking for the userid, and execed a chown on
them to root.
I then re-ran fixem, just in case.
All seems OK.
Much thanks to Vlad (Borg), Eric, Erik, and Mike.
Jason
