Topic: chmod -R 0777 /home

[soprom]

Someone had the great idea to issue this command "chmod -R 0777 /home" and I'm looking for ways to recover from this situation.

I would save users and ibays contents, delete and recreate them with lazy-tools.
It would leave me with setting permissions manually on other folders.

Any ideas or comments?

Probably not the best way to do it. Most (maybe all) permissions under /home are predictable, so you should be able to restore them to correct settings via scripting.

For ibays this should do the trick:

Code: [Select]

signal-event ibay-modify ibayname

Thanks for your comments...

I could use:

# using e-smith to reset permissions in
# /home/e-smith/files/users and
# /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles (?)
signal-event user-modify-admin
signal-event user-modify <each_user>
chown -R admin:admin /home/e-smith/Maildir
chmod -R 0600 /home/e-smith/Maildir


# using e-smith to reset permissions in /home/e-smith/files/ibays
signal-event group-modify <each_group>
signal-event ibay-modify <each_ibayname>
signal-event domain-modify <domain_name>

# manually reset permissions elsewhere
chown -R admin:admin  /home/e-smith/files/samba/printers
chmod -R 2775  /home/e-smith/files/samba/printers

chown -R root:admin  /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon
chmod -R 0644  /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon

chown -R root:root /home/e-smith/files/server-resources
chmod -R 0755 /home/e-smith/files/server-resources

chown -R root:root /home/e-smith/ssl.*
chmod -R 0644 /home/e-smith/ssl.*

chown -R root:root /home/e-smith/web
chmod -R 0755 /home/e-smith/web

chown -R root:root /home/httpd
chmod -R 0755 /home/httpd

# some 0640 and 0644 ?
chown -R root:admin /home/e-smith/db
chmod -R 0640 /home/e-smith/db

Thanks, it seems to be the way to go (that, you knew!!)...

I tested with signal-event ibay-modify <ibayname> and permissions switched from 0777 to 2770, with the correct group.
