What did I do? chmod

  • 772

I misstyped and entered this command.

sudo chmod -R -755 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/*

Now it seems like the normal user "nagios" can not see any files in this folder. But the user is owner and the rights on 777.

drwxr-xr-x  2 nagios nagios 4096 Apr 30 17:43 libexec

But when I try to execute the file:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe
-bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe: No such file or directory

The file did have this rights:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagios  63845 Apr 30 17:43 check_nrpe
permissions

    You have completely removed the read and executable rights for groups and others and all rights for the owner for all files and folders in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ but not for /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ itself.

    It can no longer be ascertained, as the rights actually denominated. This command makes it reversed, but it may be that too many rights are then assigned.

    sudo chmod -R +755 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/*
