"You did a 'chmod dot asterix', didn't you?", I asked.

I explained. "Dot asterix includes '..", so it also changed the base user directory. You used 'rw', I'm sure, so now no one has search permission to find their own login directory."
I heard the sounds of keys clicking. "OK! That was it! I'm working again!"
