    All,

            I think I've screwed up... I accidently did a chmod -R 777 * from the "/" directory (thought I was somewhere else) as root. At the time, I thought nothing of it, as I figured that if everything had 777 permissions, while it needed fixed, it wouldn't hose things up. I appear to be wrong. Mail has stopped working. I can't log in... Looking through the logs leeds me to believe that maybe the permissions are screwing things up, but I'm not sure.

            Any clues?

            Thanks,
                    Tom
