- "Hey Phil, I agree with your assessment on FS standard being needed. But
- there is an easy way to check files and directories for correct
- permissions, owner, group, etc. The utility(s) are called fcc/fci. They
- allow you to take a database of information that hold what you consider
- to be correct permissions, etc and perform a match. It will report any
- errors and can perform corrections if needed. I have experimented with
- the util under Linux and it seems to work fine. I use it in a production
- environment when doing system updates as a cross-check."
