[ale] I did a bad bad thing...

This morning I accidentally typed 'chown -R apache.apache *' as root. I
don't know if I was in /, or if chown always takes '*' to mean '/*', but
anyhow, I screwed things up pretty bad. Once again, Tomsrtbt saved the day.
I set everything to root:root and then set /var/run/named, /home/kevin and
/usr/local/apache back to their respective owners.
Everything seems to work just fine now, except that I cannot su to root. I
can log in as root, just can't su.
Any ideas? Are there any files in /etc, /bin, and /sbin that should NOT be
owned by root?
