Re: What syntax for global 'chown' fix?

For the record, I'm with Dale here. Generally speaking, running a chown / chmod against an entire system is bad. There are system files that have setuid / setgid set, and for good reason (/bin/su comes to mind). There could be uses for specific directories however, and with that in mind: >From

Thanks Dale, Kaia, and Eric ... Sincerely appreciate all of your answers. Each one helped. I fully realize that entirely too often, I have no idea what I am doing; but I just blindly muddle along anyway and somehow, by the grace of God and the guidance of so many excellent plug friends, I manage

when I load google chrome on my xp laptop pages take forever to load well, at least it doesn't cause scripts in gmail to stop running (like firefox did). I can't be a special case! if chrome and firefox want to compete with ie they need to work the bugs out before release or am I so special

For anyone that noticed, I wanted to apologize for the list having an unplanned down time over the last 24 hours. An upgrade went extremely bad due to some damage the packaging system's database took over a year ago, so what should have been a routine upgrade suddenly went extremely wrong. T
