I found this in maximun-rpm from RH9 docu:

rpm -qp --queryformat='[%{FILEMODES:perms} %{FILEUSERNAME}
%{FILEGROUPNAME}   %-80{FILENAMES} : %{=NAME}  \n]' *.rpm

running this on the distro cd's for each packages gives the orginal
permissions,etc. 
running this output against an ls -lR and a lot of "visual grep's" 
;-)) 
gives me the view of a lot work to do, quick leading to a faster
solution for an mistakenly chmoded and chowned /etc/, /dev, ....
FRESH INSTALLATION !
good luck !!!
