Subject: [expert] Dumbest thing you have ever done as Root?


Well, I was trying to correct a few weird permission faults today in my mp3 
server, when I sent a chmod -R 666 * at my home directory. It knocked out my

KDE Desktop, and probably several other things, but luckily I killed it 
quick!

One other time, I pointed a chmod -R at another folder, and everytime I
loaded 
KDE, it took much longer than before. Thank god that one is in my past.

So, what's the dumbest thing you have done?
