Hi everyone,
I was setting permissions for the root directory, so that nobody could access it but root. I didn't think of the possibility that none of the other users besides root could login. Now /bin/bash will not execute for anyone else . So root is the lone survivor. Is there a way to reset the permissions with chmod? Or another tool?

Did you do it recursively? I think this is one of the ways to mess up a linux system to the point that it is easier to reinstall, but I might confuse chown and chmod here.
I need a sorted list of all random numbers, so that I can retrieve a suitable one later with a binary search instead of having to iterate through the generation process every time.

I did this damage in gnome under root nautilus, changing the other permissions from read only, to no access. And I also clicked apply permissions throughout folders or something, but I stopped it midway. This is all I know I did.

chmod o+r /directory
