Re: Any hope for recovering from "chmod -r 777 /*"

Try googling for "solaris fix mode script". The first hit is a
reference to a Jumpstart security script called fix-modes. It's still
available at ftp[:]//ftp.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris/

fix-modes doen't fix that.

Hopefully, this script will fix the permission modes on the essential
system files for you. (Or at least it will set the files' permissions
to a more reasonable value than 777.) It will not reverse 100% of the
damage done.

No; it will only fix modes from /var/sadm/install/contents which it
finds to permissive.


pkgchk -f will likely fix the majority of problems but you will
probably still be left with a rather insecure system.
