happy new year and a (computer) word of caution

Happy new year to you all, hope the hangover is gone by now :-)

- A small word of caution - 
I experienced some downtime yesterday  due to the command 'chmod'...
I wanted to set the persmission correct so I wanted to type:
chmod -x */*, but I typed (as root)
chmod -x /*/* 
(i'm running zsh - so this actually means something....)

After this command 'chmod' is non executable, so your stuck. Did
you know that Linux doesn't even boot with the permission wrongly
setup? (Cannot execute INIT and other scary stuff...)

Well, I hope everything is running now (I did not reinstall) :-)

grtz,
