	The problm is tha his also mhches ".." and ".", not just ".foorc".
What ou really wanted is "chmod .??*".  The "?" foreces a match of exactly
one character.

	Boot you machine single user and try fixing things then.  FYI,
chmod is in /bin/chmod.

	If that doesn't work, try booing single user from the install
floppy or the fix-it floppy.
