Re: file and dir permissions

I believe that you have made my point. My libreoffice is permitted like this: drwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 64 Nov 24 01:22 /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/swriter It is a directory (shown) and it is far too open, implying all its files and subdirs are far too open. The Centos OS had warned me on this last...

Re: file and dir permissions

The permissions were shown to be the same as they were 10 minutes before (i.e too open), not the original installed file permissions (i.e. more restrictive). I chose libreoffice because i thought it would be ...

file and dir permissions

I have some directories in my Centos 6.5, 64 bit system that have files (and I would guess directory) permissions that are far too open. I must change them to something more restrictive. However, that is impossible since i do not know what the permissions were originally. Maybe a reinstall of that a...

Re: Reconfiguring the rpm database

I can answer this one. By removing enough duplicates and then rerunning sudo yum update I was able to perform a flawless update.
