Thanks for all of the responses! Most of you said to boot from a CD and mount the file systems to change the permissions. Looks like I'll have to make a drive to the server since it's 20 minutes away and I don't have console access. This seems like the quickest way to fix the problem though. Thanks again!

I also can't scp anything to this server now as it is refusing connections. I do have an open ssh session from before I made this brilliant move. I don't have physical access to the server though because it's in another building, 20 minutes away. Is there any way to recover from this without having to reinstall the OS? I'm unable to use command like chmod, mv, cp, etc. Thanks!
