Hi all, I make a mistake and need some assistence now
I had copied my /bin, /sbin, /etc, /usr, /var, /home, /tmp to
partitions that wasn´t the originals so when I make the copie I
do not remember to use -p option and now almost nothing is working
because of permitions I do not have the originals any more and I
don´t now how to restore this Anyone has a idea of what this
permitions are and how I can get to it.
for exemple, if I try to su it said authentication failure even
before the password and the user trying to su on wheel group I
can not change logs because of var permitions things like that
.
Snip if someone had an idea or the map of permitions i will be
glad thanks

The information about files permissions isn't easily recoverable...
With this command (it takes a very long time to run!) you will know wich
programs reinstall:
for i in $(ls -1 /bin /sbin) ; do equery belongs $i ;done | sort | uniq
/tmp permissions are 1777 if I rememeber correctly.
/home is not vital for system sanity, defer its recovery
Mount your system in chroot as if you would install your Gentoo (use the
installation CD and install guide, skipping partitioning, formatting,
bootstrap...!) and rebuild system programs and those listed by the
command above.
Another option, much faster is to skip the equery step, mount the chroot
and:
emerge -e system
Other programs complaining about permissions can be restored in a
following phase, from within the running system.
