X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:51:34 -0000 Would you believe me if I said a script I use daily went awry? Is there a list of the proper permission modes for things in /usr/local to get a working system back, aside of starting over? Is there a better way? I've already tried and "upgrade" from the 8.1 cd, which doesn't seem to have affected /usr/local permissions much (which sort of makes sense), as well as a portupgrade -akfO, which didn't seem to have much traction either. Symptoms: XOrg gives some rather uninteresting info and hangs while still in text mode. Sudo compalins about needing chroot, etc. etc. Thanks, Steve
