We had a moron that ran "sudo chmod -R 777 /" once. Sudo privileges were greatly reigned in.

    I assume he wanted " ./ " but missed the dot?

    I did that with an "rm - rf" once. It was back in the olden days where we mounted all systems root via nfs. Oh abd nfs use to transfer root privileges.

    Took out 1.5 machines before I thought, this is taking a while.
