Hi All, A friend of mine performed this command on his machine Chmod 777 -R /usr/lib is there a way to undo this?
Chown them to the user you want access to. chown user:group -R /usr/lib and /or chmod o-w -R /usr/lib will remove write permissions for others, I think. Try it out. ./bernard On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 2:00 PM, jamo njoroge <patjayke@gmail.com> wrote:

He should lock his account out of that computer and give in his resignation letter if its a company machine, otherwise if its his, he better reinstall and while at it google for "Linux fundamentals" book. ./Ok3ch On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 3:03 PM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:
