Khurram Wadee ✅<p>I had one of those crazy events happen at the beginning of last weekend when I accidentally changed ownership of the /root directory structure. The immediate effect was that I couldn’t use <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/sudo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sudo</span></a> to do anything as <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/root" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>root</span></a>. Luckily, the computer did reboot and allowed me to log in directly as root and then I started to change all the ownerships and groups recursively back using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/chown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chown</span></a>. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ShaggyDogStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShaggyDogStory</span></a></p>
