Hiyall,

I have a Member who 'accidentally' did:

chmod -R 777 /usr

This has apparently broken a large number of items in his system. Does
anyone have suggestions on how to fix all of these permissions problems?

Many files/programs are setuid owner or setuid group. Also, many of the
directory permissions appear wrong also.

Any ideas would be very warmly appreciated.

Regards,

d.
