Hmm, why did you have to chown an entire directory to edit
one file? su(1), and, perhaps even better, sudo(8) are meant
for such things AFAIK.
As for restoring permissions on /etc/, mtree(8) is your
friend ... I'd recommend taking a look at the
manpage, however, because IANAE.
However, all disclaimers included, I *think* you want
% cd /
% mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist
