Hi :)
I hope it's ok, when I open a new thread for this issue.
First I need to know what files have a bad owner.
I'm running
# freebsd-update IDS outfile_28Jan2013.ids
perhaps this will give some useful output, regarding to a wrong owner for
files from world.
It's still running.
I still have no idea how to check this for the files build from ports.
If I understand your problem correctly, it is of incorrect owner
group. If so, are there any problems with just running chown -R on
the parent directory (say /usr/local, where ports are installed by
default)?
In general, I find all this thread (wrong file owner) a bit boring. This
is a mayor damage and can only be repaired by a new installation. A lot
of files and directories in the systems filesystem, in / /var /usr, have
dedicated owner to allow certain processes which does not run as 'root'
to do their correct work there, for exmample 'mail'; i.e. you can not
do just a complete chown -R root and expect that the system
still works;
the same is true for the ports below /usr/local; just run on a correct
system something like:
# find /usr/local -exec ls -ld {} \; | fgrep -v root
to get a list about what I am talking.

Perhaps awk isn't that important, but it e.g. will filter different file
sizes, for e.g. configurations I edited in the meantime.
A thing regarding awk: For extended formatting, use the
printf() command which works the same as in sh and C, os
if you need, you can do things like
printf %s '%s', $1, $2;
Also note that you can have a custom delimiter for parsing
the input, e. g. -F : (if you would generate input lists
in :-separated CSV format).
Additionally, it seems you're running into the fun of spaces
in file names. Even though you can put them there, it doesn't
imply it's good to do it. Spaces are separators (for commands
and options), and everytime they're _not_ (e. g. when they
appear in file names), you need to care for this fact, by
escaping or quoting them.
Maybe those articles by David A. Wheeler are interesting
to you to learn about this annoyance for people writing
short shell scripts to automate tasks:

The fix to your issue is, in pseudocode: for part in ( OS , ports ) do: determine owner rocketmouse:* for all files compare with list with correct owner for each deviating file do: if owner != correct owner then: chown file to correct user fi od od Of course OS and ports have to be treated seperately. As you have mentioned to own a backup where the permissions (owners) are correct, obtaining the required reference data from that backup would be the easiest part. The alternative: reinstall world, reinstall ports. To avoid this task, you need to activate your admin skills. :-) Of course, if I simply would restore from a dump, it will be less time consuming and it wouldn't annoy you, but I would have the bad feeling, that if ever needed, thinks can't be fixed, I always would have to restore from backups. And what happens, if for what reason ever a backup shouldn't be available? In that case, you would need other references to get the correct file owners. Files are usually installed to the system by the install command, and it is employed in the Makefiles for the OS and also for ports. As you correctly recognized, not simply all files belong to root, so everything non-standard could be derived from such control files. Of course, the more files you have to treat (see wc -l of your result list), the harder the task can become, and maybe installing the port again is faster than finding out where permissions are set for the install program call. If you only have 10 files or so, do it manually, but if there are 100 and more files, coming from several different ports, reinstalling them sounds easier, and it's not a big deal to do that with portmaster. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: How to fix a broken owner for files from world build from ports?
I don't use space in filenames, I just wanted to ensure, that file names with spaces will be handled partly correctly. At the moment I'm not working intensively. Every once in a while I take a look at a directory and compare it with the backups. If there's something wrong, I manually run chown. I copy each step I'm doing to a file.

Re: How to fix a broken owner for files from world build from ports?
The output of freebsd-update IDS outfile_28Jan2013.ids is useless for
this purpose.
I now will do it like that:
root@freebsd:/mnt/dump/tmp # bzcat
../dump-9.1-RELEASE-20130123_193142-usr_f.dump | restore rf -
unfortunately it happened:
/mnt/dump: write failed, file system is full
write error extracting inode 2078075, name
./local/share/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES/GConf2.mo
write: No space left on device
^Crestore interrupted, continue? [yn] n
;)
I still have to solve this.
Then I will run
# ls -l /usr/bin | awk '{print $3 $9}' foo_original.txt
# ls -l /dump_dir/usr/bin | awk '{print $3 $9}' foo_dump.txt
and diff both text files. After that I'll do it for all relevant
directories.
How to continue depends to the output of diff.

Ralf

You're basically getting down to the dirty tedious parts. Unless you

I already have an idea. Since $11 is the last output I might be able to
check whether there is a space followed by a sign, by a loop, assumed
there should be several spaces, interrupted by signs. I guess to care for
several spaces one after the other and exotic signs that might break awk
IMO isn't needed.
It might become a very long command line ;). Perhaps I don't need it, I
have to test it. I extracted the first dump, but need a rest now.
Thank you :).

occurrence, you're just going to have to do it the tedious way.
Computer's aren't always fun and glory. For every beautiful network,
someone had to run the wires into the wall, through the dirt, and to
the other building.
I already have an idea. Since $11 is the last output I might be able to
check whether there is a space followed by a sign, by a loop, assumed
there should be several spaces, interrupted by signs. I guess to care
for several spaces one after the other and exotic signs that might
break awk IMO isn't needed.
It might become a very long command line ;). Perhaps I don't need it,
I have to test it. I extracted the first dump, but need a rest now.
Thank you :).
Solved!
# find * -ls | sed -e 's%/dir%%g' | awk '{print $5 $11 $12 $13}'
I can add $14 to $83635484 ;).

Still not perfect, I guess I need something similar to ls -RAl for

Try `find /dir -ls`. You can pipe it into sed like this `find /dir
-ls| sed -e 's%/dir%%g'` and then get something easily comparable.
Cool, it does display the path, but there's still the other issue:
$ touch test\ test
$ find * -ls| sed -e 's%/dir%%g'| awk '{print $5 $11}'

Perhaps awk isn't that important, but it e.g. will filter different
file
sizes, for e.g. configurations I edited in the meantime.

You're basically getting down to the dirty tedious parts. Unless you
know a full featured scripting language with a find library to find
and compare ownership, or you want a custom c program for a rare
occurrence, you're just going to have to do it the tedious way.

I guess $[...] is limited, but even with 12 and 13, it should be enough.
