    Hmm, i seem to get this error when i run the command:

    [/var/lib]
    [root@lifeonedge lib]# rpm -setugids -R .
    sh: line 2: package: command not found
    [root@lifeonedge lib]#

    Is RPM not configured correctly?

    I mentioned in another reply, but since it's a really useful and barely
    documented feature I'll mention it again.

    Rpm's --setperms option fixes this easily. For example:

    [root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash
    [root@satsuki root]# chmod o-x /bin/bash
    [root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
    -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash
    [root@satsuki root]# rpm --setperms bash
    [root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash

    The --setugids option does the same thing with botched ownership.

    Definitely no need to reinstall. =;)
