DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #94 from Joost Kooij <joost@topaz.mdcc.cx>
:
How do you RESTORE THE DEFAULT PERMISSIONS back on the / tree?
If you have a clean host with very similar filesystem contents,
try this:
	ssh root@okayhost "find / -regex '/\(mnt\|proc\|tmp\)/.*' -prune -or \
	  -not -type l -not -type s -printf '%04.4m %u %g %p\n' " \
	| while read mode user group path
	do 
	  chown $user.$group $path 
	  chmod $mode $path 
	done 
Alternatively, create a huge script like this:
	find / -regex '/\(mnt\|proc\|tmp\)/.*' -prune -or \
	  -not -type l -not -type s -printf 'chown %u.%g %p\nchmod %m %p\n' \
	  > fixperms.sh
And copy that to the broken machine and run "sh fixperms".
  It might not fix all files, unless the two hosts are nearly
equal, but enough to let you find the missing ones to fix by
hand.  Maybe /home/* will need special care.
