But isn't `chmod -R 777 *` in the spirit of the wiki? :D
Sorry, but I couldn't resist cracking that one. :P

i have no idea what would possess someone to do this (since, among
other things, it would let anyone take over your account), but
whatever you think it's going to fix: don't do it. you won't be able
to log in anymore.
(also, anyone who thinks 'hmmm, giving everyone write access to my
home directory would be a good idea' should probably stop and learn
about Unix and security before doing anything more on the toolserver.)
