Hi All,

Accidentally changed ownership of /var directory as root Smilie thinking that I am changing ownership of var directory in other location in the file systemSmilie.Now unable to SSH into the serverSmilie.
By gods grace I was able to regain the access again as server was in control of me at that time.Other wise hell would have broke down.Smilie

Is there any way I can set a message to be displayed a warning when I am changing the owner ship from root to some thing else for a particular directory .Smilie.I have tried upon all the ACL but didnt get worthy idea .
