[sllug-members]: CHMOD Big Oops!

[mike van]

Um, if you were the root user, that command went through otherwise it  
probably failed so there would be no worries.
If it did go through, you may want to just pull the data you need and  
reinstall, as getting the exact permissions
back to the way they were will be a long tedious process,
just reinstalling would probably take less time and be less of a hassle.
