I changed my var folder permission to 777 do I have to re-install the system

user2682025

I just accidentally changed my var folder permission to 777 and it's sub folders. Do I have to re-install my system? and as far until now it didn't made any trouble for me.

From a 'will it work?' standpoint, everything should be completely fine and your system should function normally.

That being said, now all processes/users/anything will have complete access to anything inside the /var directory, which will make your system MUCH less secure.

If security is not an issue for you, then you can leave your system the way it is.
