On my system, almost everything's owned by root. There are a few exceptions when files are owned by a daemon. As I said, re-installing those parts (or even world) should fix this, but maybe it's possible to apply some "mtree magic" to fix the owner to the proper one (root in most cases). > The man directories are owned by man, and > /usr/local/libexec/polkit-set-default-helper is set as polkit:polkit. That's a good example for the non-root exceptions; there might be others. > There's a difference between lib directories and libexec directories. > Libraries are stored in lib and programs you're not expected to invoke > yourself are stored in libexec. Correct. That's why my printer filters are in /opt/libexec. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
