Ubuntu
sudo package

I can't logging in to Server 10.10.

Asked by Ozzy

I am using Server 10.10.
Root account is disabled, i am using admin as sudoers.
I wanted to change home directory privileges, and I typed a command mistakenly to root not to "home" directory.

"sudo chmod 700 /"

Server is running, but some of the services sending "forbidden access" .
Like www, FTP and e-mail servers.
DHCP and DNS servers running.
Admin and other users can't logging in, and loops back to Login secreen.
How can i correct this problem?

I restarted the server, and selected root login in recovery menu.
Then enabled password for root, and type a command;

chmod 777 /

Everyting looks normal, now.
But 777 privilige is a right chose for root directory?

No its really not. Everybody who can get ANY sort of access, no matter how limited has 100% access to your files, as do any malicious javascripts or flash files. Your system has 0% security. I suggest you reinstall.

I suggest, you do a
sudo chmod 755 /

which would be normal case.
And you should think about what you are doing. What else did you use "chmod" on? Do you know what the numbers mean?

Yes I know Tobias.
And i am going to set permission of the root file to 755 instead of 777.
Thanks for help.

I set "/" as 755, and server works normal.
Also root is disabled again.
