I'd suggest that you print out your existing ls -alR /etc. Then get someone to send you theirs in a file. You can then go down and write in what the ownership/permissions should be. Any files you have that weren't in the list you received could be asked for specifically on the list or pulled from the packages. However, its a lot of work to go through each package individually. I know, its a lot of work either way. You could always reinstall??? I take it that you don't have a backup of /etc from right after you installed?
