An employee accidental recursively changed permissions from the root directory to apache. I reran it to root, we fixed MySQL, but SSH still doesn't work. What is the correct way to restore the ownership for sshd?

  • You're probably best off restoring from backup. SSH isn't the only thing likely to be affected by this, and getting it back to normal is probably nearly impossible. – ceejayoz Sep 26 '14 at 14:58

If you just want to restore the permissions for sshd the command would be:

rpm --setugids openssh-server

From the manual:

rpm --setugids PACKAGE_NAME sets user/group ownership of files in the given package..
