    A reload is going to be the best choice. You might be able to get them to boot to single user and run

    rpm --setperms -a

    Which will set the default perms back

    Tell us what LT exactly said.

    I think LT think your server has been compromised, ask them to reset your root password and then you can have a look around in the server to see if anything suspecious is around, etc.

    Just be advised, if you do a reload you loose all your data. Best to have them slave the current primary drive and install a new OS on the New primary so you can restore data and investigate later.
