RE: [cobalt-developers] Anyone seen this before ? fix ?

["Malcolm Wild" <cobaltsec@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

didn't fancy the old "format & reinstall" answer that I'd expect from
Micro$oft ;)

so i copied a manually deleted the dodgy file copies an OK siteX folder and
renamed it changing the ownerships as needed and the users/ ownership to
match the original.

Then deleted the users then site via the GUI and recreated it, problem
solved !

However all the data in the original folder was lost :(
And more worringly I'm not sure what caused the issue in the first place.
It looks a little like the system crashed out while writing the site for
some reason

So I could still have a time bomb!

TACO - any ideas what to check for to see if the files system is OK?

was:
drwxrwsr-x   5 httpd    site57       1024 Feb  7 14:38 site57
now:
?--Sr-s---   0 4120     root          416 Jan  1  1970 site57
WHY!?!

How can I convert the ? 'file' back to a folder again

Also:
drwxrwsr-x   5 nobody   site61       1024 Jun  8  2000 site61
some later site are created as NOBODY not httpd but httpd running as user
root??
I can't have nobody as the site owner for all the domains cos anyone can
read write anywhere!

RaQ2 total standard patched up
only root has telnet/ssh
