Can anybody help me here.
I have corrupted various permissions on a couple of directories - is there a
way to re-set them to the installed status.
I am having problems with amanda and firestarter
Thanks

rpm can help you out here. rpm -V <packagename> is a good start I believe. Check the man page to verify usage. The -V switch should display permission changes, user/group ownership modification, MD5 sum matches, etc.

Or do this:
rpm -q --queryformat '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILEMODES:perms}\n]' \ <packagename>
That will print all the filenames in a package along with corresponding permissions that they were packaged with.
With a little scripting you can extract these permissions and apply it to the files in question.
