On a solaris OS only:
 
Was the files in question part of a package (i.e. were these files put onto
the machine with a pkgadd)?  If so, you can do a pkgchk and avoid the
restore & compare.
 
g
 
ps pkgchk -f will attempt to fix the attributes if possible.

Sounds like a "chmod -R" problem. 

You'll either have to restore the whole file from backup or restore to an
alternate location and do a compare.

Admins, 
        Here is something interesting question, not sure if this possible.
Accidentally file permissions were changed on a Unix machine. But we did not
loose the files. Now we don't know the file permissions. Is there a way to
just restore the file permissions from a backup ?

ALsternate option for me to restore to another location and do a comparison.


Thank You 

Dayal
