What I did was: "chown -R user:user /"
I meant to put the directory name to change these to; however my finger spazzed out and I hit the enter key. The result was that every file and directory was affected. I folowed some advises and got most of the system restored, however my mail recieving is not working as well as several other wierd things. My question is; If I upgrade to Potato will the system be restored to its proper configuration? I have a lot of servers and daemons that are no longer working properly especially the databases, even though I removed and reinstalled them.
