[LUG] Changed permissions of entire system



I very stupidly managed to do
chown user:[username] .* -R
earlier as root and managed to change the file permissions of most of my system before i realised exactly what i had done.


I can log in as root but pppd complains about permissions and i cannot su from my user account.

Is there an easy way to put this right as i have Win4Lin etc installed and to reinstall from scratch would take an age
