[wplug] System file permission, owner and group auditing utility

[John Harrold]

Sometime in April rreavis at fedex.com assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Hello,
| 
| Does anyone know of a linux  utility for auditing the permission's, owner 
| and group of system files and automatically setting (resetting) these 
| attributes to recommended defaults.

I don't know of a specific utility, but I have to think this would be
pretty easy to do with a scripting language. I'd suggest perl because
that's what I'm familiar with, but I'm sure you could do this with python
or something similar.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
