OT: Fixing permissions on OpenServer 6

I'm working on setting up sshd on a client's OpenServer 6 system. Not
having been able to find a supplied init script or any commented-out
references to it in the /etc tree, I was just going to go ahead with
plugging it into /etc/rc manually; probably in S88tcp (or whatever
we're calling that this month).
But when sshd complained about the permissions on /etc/ssh/privsep/, I
took a closer look.
And found that someone had inadvertantly done their
chown -R filepro .
and
chmod -R 777 .
... in /, instead of /appl/filepro.
Not as impressive as a couple of my *own* recursion fiascos -- the
machine is still running :-) -- but pretty snazzy nonetheless.
fixmog and custom don't fix *enough*.
Is there some other OS level permission fixer that I don't know about?
Custom *used* to know how to fix the permission of every file it had
ever installed, but -- even having run it in thorough mode -- I don't
see that it has this time.
It's *running*, but I'd still like to clean it up some.
Cheers,
