If you still have the /usr/obj subtree where you installed world from last time, you only need to "make installworld" (as explained in /usr/src/Makefile's comment header). There has also been a very good advice on how to use mtree to do this (as the files don't need re-installation per se, because they haven't changed). > > > 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 are others on my system, so I can't simply run chown -R :(. That's correct. If you can spot those "irregularities" in /usr/local, it seems to be the safest way to re-install the ports those files belong to. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
