Hello,

thanks to Girish Phadke (PGIRISH_at_binariang.maxisnet.com.my) that as fixed
the problem. My question was :

>I made a full installation of DU 4.0D on my Alpha 3300 and everything has
>worked fine for several days. Then to refree space on the system disk I
>deinstalled all the unnecessary subsets. After this operation all the system
>files with the permission bit 's' have lost this one !
>So thinking to have made a mistake somewhere on the permissions I fixed
>manually some files in the first directory I found, but now I'm thinking it
>is faster to reinstall DU !

and the solution :

use the 'fverify' in the following way :

1) cd /
2) /usr/lbin/fverify -y < /usr/.smdb./subset_name.inv

then with a simple script it is possible to make a loop on all the system
susbsets, as I need in my case :


unalias ls
cd /
for loop in `ls /usr/.smdb./*.lk | sed 's/.lk/.inv/' `
do
/usr/lbin/fverify -y < $loop
done


Regards,
