hmm. could it be? $ ping 127.33.55.77 PING 127.33.55.77 (127.33.55.77): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.33.55.77: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from 127.33.55.77: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.2 ms --- 127.33.55.77 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.2/0.3/0.4 ms $ ping 127.0.0.19 PING 127.0.0.19 (127.0.0.19): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.19: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.3 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.19: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.2 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.19: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.2 ms --- 127.0.0.19 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.2/0.2/0.3 ms well, batten my hatches! much simpler than i thought... many thanks for the pointer.

If you have a clean host with very similar filesystem contents, try this: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "find / -regex '/\(mnt\|proc\|tmp\)/.*' -prune -or \ -not -type l -not -type s -printf '%04.4m %u %g %p\n' " \ | while read mode user group path do chown $user.$group $path chmod $mode $path done Alternatively, create a huge script like this: find / -regex '/\(mnt\|proc\|tmp\)/.*' -prune -or \ -not -type l -not -type s -printf 'chown %u.%g %p\nchmod %m %p\n' \ > fixperms.sh And copy that to the broken machine and run "sh fixperms". It might not fix all files, unless the two hosts are nearly equal, but enough to let you find the missing ones to fix by hand. Maybe /home/* will need special care.
