Messed up /etc/ dir permissions

[atmosx]

Hello,

The other day I messed up the `/etc/` dir permissions by issuing the following command:

```
chmod user1:user1 -R *
```

I thought I was under `/etc/user1prog` but I was in `/etc`. Once I realised what happened I chmod' everything to `root` apart from `ulogd.conf` which I remember belonging to `ulogd:ulogd` user. Is there any way where I can _fix_ this by re-emerging world or something similar?

Comparing perms to `staging3` doesn't help because they're untar-ed as 'root' so... it's all `root`. The system works, so doesn't seem be like a big deal but I might be missing something subtle.

Thanks!

A quick look, without any deep searching, shows virtually everything on my /etc is owned by root:root. That's to be expected - /etc is system configuration data, usually not writeable by users, but in general readable by everyone.
/etc/cups is root:lp and /etc/portage is root:portage.
