I was providing the output of that command from *my* machine so that you could see what you're perms should look like and change them appropriately. I provided you with all the files and directories under my /var that were *not* owned by root so you could compare and make adjustments as needed. I would expect you'd get only a handful of items from that command as you chown'ed the whole thign to root... Anyway, pull up that previous email and take a look at the attachement. A
