HELP!! Is it possible to recover from "chmod -r 777 /*"?

807557Aug 27 2007 — edited Aug 29 2007

Hi,

Sorry to have to ask this, but one of my colleagues accidentally did a "chmod -r 777 /*" while logged into one of our Solaris 10 zones with root privileges (actually, after doing an "su -"). After that, no one can SSH into the system using putty. When we try, the putty window disappears immediately.

Is there any way/hope of somehow logging into the system and recovering the zone at this point?

Thanks in advance,
Jim
