I never thought of "/" being a directory, more like the base there initial directories were placed on. Anyway, when I get home today from work I'll check and change the permissions.

Some are due to being compiled as me, and installed as root, and others I'm not too sure about. Again, thanks for the tips, and I'll do a followup on this once I confirmed /.
