ok

in general is jr:root a pretty odd combination for ownership (jr is a
regular user)

can I assume that things with that combination be changed back

I'll have to go through and find other combinations too but...

going through things

[root at bb197-165 ~]# cd /
[root at bb197-165 /]# ls -la | grep "jr"
drwxr-xr-x   23 jr root  4096 Jul  8 14:39 .
drwxr-xr-x   23 jr root  4096 Jul  8 14:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x    4 jr root  1024 Jul  8 08:28 boot
drwxr-xr-x   81 jr root 12288 Jul  8 23:29 etc

[root at bb197-165 /]# cd boot
[root at bb197-165 boot]# ls -la | grep "jr"
drwxr-xr-x   4 jr root    1024 Jul  8 08:28 .
 ...
-rw-r--r--   1 jr root 1405861 Nov  3  2004 vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667

***amost everything -- will change everything back

[root at bb197-165 boot]# cd /etc

[root at bb197-165 etc]# ls -la | grep "jr"
drwxr-xr-x  81 jr root   12288 Jul  8 23:29 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 jr root    4096 Jul  8 14:39 ..
[root at bb197-165 etc]# find -uid 500
.
./sysconfig/network-scripts
[root at bb197-165 etc]# cd ./sysconfig/network-scripts

[root at bb197-165 network-scripts]# find -uid 500
.
[root at bb197-165 network-scripts]# ls -la | grep "jr"
drwxr-xr-x  2 jr root  4096 Apr  7 06:03 .

***not so much changed in etc  -- will change everything back

Thanks for the help so far
