*heh heh*
apart from saying the mean (but deserved) restore from backup :) maybe
you could just `chown -R root /`
that would put you in a better state than now, at least.
do you use slocate? maybe the slocate database stores permission info
for files it searches... you could "reverse" that info somehow...
anyway, what's a customer doing with sudo access?
