That's right, I entered chown -R user: wheel /var as root. Boy do I feel dumb.
ls -Rla /var | cat > var.txt was over 40000 lines, maybe if I would have run that first I would have done things differently.
Any suggestions? Would chown -R root:root /var be bad?
Here's the directories in /var maybe I can just chown -R some of them?

Can someone tell me what the permissions should look like for these dirs?
I think Lisp is funny, double semi-colons and unmatched parentheses crack me up.

well up to 3 weeks, I did a
sudo chown -R /var /etc /usr
funny, isn't it ?
solved it by reinstaling sudo (The fastest way)
and put the consolekit daemon working to access the desktop manager.

and chowned back to the original user some (few or none) folders.
