chmod root 777 recursive
Asked by
Thierry GAONA - Axelor
Hello,
on french keyboard layout, the . and / caracters are side by side.
So that, I just made a "chmod -R 777 /" instead of a "chmod -R 777 .".
You guess the consequences...
I'm wondering two things now:
- How can I revert this miserable action?
- Even if an administrator has all responsibility using root user, would it be possible in some next version of Ubuntu having at least a message asking if we are sure to run such command which have the power to destroy the whole system...?
Thanks for the answer...
