I really blew it... I did 'chmod -R 4755 /' 
Now I can't log in.  I have tried doing upgrade and install and neither have
worked.  When I try to use a holographic shell it just says 'Error ( expected'
and when I put an open parenthesis in front of my command it gives me a '>' and
then when I enter commands on that line nothing happens all I can do is 'Ctl-C'
out of it.

What can I do to save my system or do I have to newfs?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
