Hi all,
I did something really silly and want to kick myself! I wanted to change
a folder's permissions in the /var folder, so guess what? I did the
following and before completing my command, I pressed the return key:
chmod -R /var
Now, I am having lots of problems bev=cause Clamav-Milter does not want to
run because of some permission error in /var/run/clamav-milter and my
Logwatch remonds me everyday that /var/spool/clientmqueue has world
writable permissions.
I suppose it is very difficult to fix a problem like this. I need to set
the permissions to the defaults. I can't reload Fedora because too many
users and domains are active on that server.
Aany help would be of use.
Thanks!
