Broken Sudo

[godofmuffins]

I know nothing about Unix, so I hope you people can help me out

I was in root today fixing something, when I thought "gee, self, why not set the privileges for everything to Read/Write so I never have to go into root again!". So I got info on my hard drive, went to Privileges, set Everyone to Read/Write, and clicked Apply to copy to all enclosed folders.

I restart and pop into my account and when I try to use sudo, it gives me an error:

> sudo blah blah
Sorry, sudo must be setuid root.

Eeek! Can anyone help me? Can I somehow reset my privileges to defaults? Etc. etc.?

Try Apple's recently released Privileges Utility(I forget the exact name)

It resets/fixes all the permissions on the drive.

I got ahold at it after searching the Knowledge Base (which suprised me, the thing has always given me useless results). The download page can be found here.

I'll try it out and let you know how it works.

Good luck!
