Hi the smart ones:
I added Rsherry to the /etc/passwd file to have the same uid and
gid as root. Somehow all the files and dirctories originally owned by
root are now owned by Rsherry. Command "chown" will not do anything,
because Rsherry has the same uid as root. I deleted Rsherry from the
passwd file hoping that will put things back to what they were. But
they remain the same. It is really annoying.
How can I have them changed back to owned by root?
Thanks a lot.
Sherry
