*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?
