I have been using openSUSE in my desktop pc since few months so I am not really an expert in it.
I have run through a problem and I would appreciate any help:
Accidentaly I changed the permissions of different files in the root (/) directory.
As a direct result the sudo privileges, accessible until that moment by my user, disappeared.
In fact if I tried using “sudo zypper refresh” for example I got as answer:
“sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by goupid 100, should be 0”
I have recovered the possibility to access these privileges by the command line using this commands from the root account:
Now I get back the privileges if I work through the terminal whereas I am not able to access YaST2 (with the password for my user). Can you help me with that?
Are there other particular files I need to restore with any particular attribute in the root directory?
The /etc/sudoers file is probably in the / partition but is not directly
in / (because it’s under /etc) so when you changed things in / did you do
so recursively? If so you may be in for a lot of “fun” in resolving this
throughout the filesystem. What, specifically, happens when you try to
load YaST2 currently from the GUI? What does the output of the following
commands return?
rpm -V sudo
rpm -qa | grep -i yast | xargs rpm -V
Good luck.

Thank you very much for your answer.
In fact the situation is not happy at all.
I realized I have some problems also in reading data from CD and in mounting usb disks.
The system sys that there is something wrong with HAL daemon.
I wonder if this mess comes also from the on-line upgrade from 11.2 → 11.3 that I did few days ago…
Here is the output of the two commands you asked:

… Then the output continues but it is too long to be fully included in the message
If your entire filesystem is munged like this then you may be better off
running through an install choosing to NOT FORMAT your /home partition.
If group-ownership is all that is a problem we can try to work through
these but, for example, both of those commands returned a combined total
of one line (the first one you show there for the ‘sudo’ package).
Here are a couple commands to change THESE packages’ files
group-ownerships; use at your own risk:
rpm -ql sudo > yastfiles.txt
rpm -qa | grep -i yast | xargs rpm -ql >> yastfiles.txt
for i in cat yastfiles.txt ; do chgrp root $i; done
Run the the last bit as root.
Good luck.

What files or folders in root accidently change and how did you change them?
Restarting the machine was a mistake, you’d have been better off working through the changes.
If you changed them to a new group/owner you could try using the find command
find / -gid 100 -ls | less
##
find / -group goupid -ls | less
##
find / -uid 1000 -ls | less
##
find / -user goupid -ls | less
##
man find
You can try using find modifiers -mtime, -mmin, -daystart to narrow the search to the time you think you made the modifications, or just grep today’s date.
Of course you could try to reset those you changed if you could remember.
I did forgot a grep would be extremely helpful to eliminate /home files and folders if you really changed the groupid to 100 (users)

In “man rpm” there is an interesting option:
rpm {–setperms|–setugids} PACKAGE_NAME …
However, I can’t find more info in “man” about that option, and “info rpm” gives the node
“libc.info” (and “info” comes out totally blank). With “pinfo” I get the “info” index, but I can’t
find the manual. Plus “locate rpm.info” comes blank.
Good grief!
My guess is that those two options might be to reset the permissions of files of a package, but as I
can’t find any documentation on them, I don’t know what they really are for.

I had to wrap the --setperms in double-quotes in order to get a good
search result (to avoid explicitly rejecting that as a term I imagine).
Good luck.

Indeed they are, those two options are used to repair permisions or ownership of packages. I asked
in the mailing list and got a fast answer from Michael S. Dunsaavage:
So, the OP can get the list of damaged packages with the verify option, and then repair all those
packages. After that “SuSEconfig --module permissions” would do the rest.

Thank you very much for assisting me in this horrible situation >:(!
At least I have a path to follow :).
I run the commands suggested in the web page
" for p in $(rpm -qa); do sudo rpm --setperms $p; done"
" for p in $(rpm -qa); do sudo rpm --setugids $p; done"
I had to insert sudo otherwise it was not working.
The first command was quite ok in its results, whereas the second run ok for a while and then returned:
“sudo: must be setuid root”
Similarly the last command “sudo SuSEconfig --module permissions”
returned the same result.
Obviously YaST2 does not work and besides it seems at the present stare I am not able to obtain root priviledges anymore using sudo.
This command still returns hundred lines of output
“rpm -qa | grep -i yast | xargs rpm -V”
Instead of sudo use su - to become root. It is really more the Suse way sudo is more the Ubuntu way. Won’t say which is better but they are different.
Now you changed a bunch of permissions and hopefully the rpm method will fix at least some, but there are others that may still be incorrect. Mainly config files that are not properly part of the rpms. It is truly hard to say what that will do to you.
I recommend reinstalling and being much more careful in the future. Freedom also allows you to shoot you foot.

Just use “su -” first. It works faster and safer. In a terminal. Or log as root in text mode. Forget
sudo!

repeat te procedure as root, as explained.
