quite recently I mistakenly did something like chown -R jr /

I wonder if etc and boot shouldn't properly be owned by root?
Sure, they have to be root owned.
They *have* to be root ownership? What is there which will not function
if they are not root ownership?
Dare I try changing them back?
If you did really execute above command "chown -R jr /", then ownership
change happened recursive so that too the owner below those dirs
changed. You should use "find -uid N" to find out. All /boot content is
root owned, nearly everything below /etc should so too.
That's a good point. I took it for granted in my response.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
