A critical typo in a revised script totally trashed all permissions on my RHEL6.1 server. Fortunately even in that damaged state it booted to runlevel 1. It's taken me two weeks to reinstall all 2471 packages, restore permissions IAW the RPM database plus the thousands that aren't recorded there. I can now boot to runlevel 3 just fine. Runlevel 5, however, seems just out of reach. It boots to the graphical logon screen, but that's where keyboard and mouse operations quit.
Have you tried using rpm --setperms <name of rpm> ?? If it is insisting on setuid you could use find to locate all the setuid binaries and examine the permissions of those that seem relevant to your issue. Of course having a clean working install to compare these perms to would also help!
