[Linux-disciples] Can't do root stuff.

[karl sokol]

My desktop is not attatched to the net and is in my
bedroom, so security isn't a big concern to me on this
machine.  So, I did chmod 777 *.  Now at startup, I
get "Starting Open BSD Secure Shell server:sshd @@@@@@
Warning: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @@@@
Permissions 0777 for /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key are too
open."  The same for dsa_key.

So, now I can't do any root stuff to harden the
permissions (like logging in on root, su, sudo, chmod
etc.).  A bit of an ironic catch-22.

Any suggestions?
