What are the default permissions for /etc in octal for Slackware (10.1)
Can someone tell me what the default permissions for /etc, in octal form, are.
In my experimentation I have changed these and now this drive will not boot.
It stops at, "cannot open rc.4", "cannot open rc.M", "cannot open rc.S"

Dist = Slackware 10.1
There is a file in your CD called manifesto.bz2, that contains all default file permissions and ownerships
The files you have mentioned are in /etc/rc.d/ and are startup and shutdown scripts. rc.4 rc.M and rc.S should be 755. DO not make all /etc/rc.d/ to 755, because your system will start every installed server, apache,my_sql,sshd,cups,lprn...etc.
Good Luck and respect the permissions. They do exist for a reason...

Originally posted by rjohnson244 Yes, I thought that would work, but it gives the same reply on boot.
I have also tried "644" "666" "777".
I guess that it may be time to re-install
Also, all folders should have execute permission to be browsable.
Yes, I do understand (somewhat) and respect file permissions, this drive is used for my own linux "educational" purposes. It has had about 10 Distributions on it in about as many months.
I seem to be addicted to this particular "drug", with only fellow addicts and enablers to lean on.
