This is the sort of thing that system back-ups are useful for... also the package managers generally have functionality for this now, and there are some system tools that you can use to verify the ownerships and permissions of installed packages. I think you might get what you want with: yum verify-all But I haven't run Fedora in quite a while and my memory is very hazy. Though to be honest the way I generally handle this kind of problem these days is to keep /home on a separate partition, and just do a fresh install when things go bad (which, since this is Linux, happens exceedingly rarely). -- Derek D.
