I had a database admin run chmod 775 from root once, that was fun to fix.

Globally across the whole filesystem?

edit:"from root once" my mind inserted "shell" in that.

Yes the whole file system. I was sitting in my office doing System Manager shit and my phone starts ringing, shit stopped working all over the system. Then about 2 seconds later this guy runs in and says please don't be at me, I said what the fuck did you do? Luckily I was logged into the system as root already. So I started fixing the /dev rights and the system directories /sbin /bin. With as close to the rights as I figured they should be. Got the system running again mostly stable. Then called HP and said how do I read what the default rights were as installed from the install CD Rom? They gave me the filename that had all the default system file rights in it. Wrote me a slick little program and fixed all the rights. Bada bing Bada boom. I told him if he ever did anything like that again, I'd break all his fingers, one at a time.
