You've been hacked if you did not make that mistake yourself.
Reinstall clean with formats.
If you made the mistake yourself I think there is a method to reset permissions
using rpm. I don't remember what it is.

Subject: Whole directory structure rights changed
Hello
I am running Red hat Linux release .7 kernel 2.2.16-22. Problem is that one
day, the rights of whole directory structrue changed to 777.
With reference that no one has changed the rights. i have seen all the
.bash_history files. when this change occured there was one prompt open
with root (via telnet).
So now linux is not accepting the root passwd ,even when i changed it from the
already opned root prompt.
Is there any secuirty feature in linux that ,has changed the rights of linux box
