Guys,
I accidentally issued the command:
chmod 01777 /
One of the consequences seeems to be that my /var/spool/mail directory is zero bytes - I am unable to send a test mail to myself. The ouput of mailq is:
[root@localhost mail]# mailq /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 91: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/local-host-names': World writable directory /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 588: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory
What are the other consequences and how do I reverse this?
Thanks in advance,
Sujeet
