After chmod'ing -R 777 /etc/ by accident, the system refuses to login, and 
complains about the wrong permission on /etc/pam.conf.

chmod 777 would remove setuid, setgid and the sticky bit from all files.

How to recover from it quickly?

Tried to chmod back /etc/pam.conf to 644 via booting from a CD, but it still 
didn't work.
