- I've been running Linux as 'root' quite happily untill just now. I killed
- my Image file. No big deal, just remake the kernel. Well, I tried to
- act as an ordinary user but found it troublesome, especially I had to
- switch to root and change file attributes for myself when I can not
- run some programs due to the attributes of files. As a result, 90% of my
- Linux files are now owned by 'root' and grouped by 'root'.
-
- Has anyone out there got some attribute-changing script to make my Linux
- files/directories back to the 'normal' status so that I can be just
- a happy user rather than SA?
-
- Thanks in advance.
