Exactly what my Linux OS person said.  We are going to have to completely
rebuild the box due to the user (yes, we are going to revoke sudo/root
privileges)  doing a "chown -R <someuser> / ".  Eventhough he was able to
fix a lot of the attributes using rpm, there will always be the lingering
question of what was missed and how many more hours will be wasted in the
future fixing more permissions as they are found....
