chown mistake

["Richard E. Robbins" <RERobbins iTinker net>]

I wanted to fuss with the files in the /var/named/chroot tree and
inadvertently did a chown named.named for both the /etc and /dev trees
instead of the etc and dev trees.  Can someone confirm that the files in
/dev and /etc trees should (or can) all safely be set to have root and the
owner and group?  I fear that I have done something horrible to my system.
