Hi Kirti, >We had one DBA who did chown -R oracle * followed by chmod -R u+x,g+x * >while at / as root !! >That pissed of everyone not just the SAs. >It took several days (almost a rebuilt of the server) to recover. >Who to blame? The supid prompt for not having a # and id when >su-ed to root. May I also add that while most systems do set PS1 to contain the hostname and directory, etc. it is *VERY* important to always perform a 'su -' rather than a plain 'su', as the latter does not invoke root's profile which in turn sets the PS1, the "#", etc. Bottom line : Always use 'su - ' rather than 'su'...
