You may have a bigger problem here
If you really typed:
chmod 777 /bin/* this is very bad. You have changed the permissions on many stickybit commands. Here is a list from my HPUX box.
You may have screwed up your links and stickybits. Many files in bin are linked to /etc, /usr, and /opt, and sometimes your $PATH looks first in these dirs instead of /bin. I had a similar prob on a box where someone executed chmod 444 on /bin VERY HORRIBLE hehe...
Try to use this list to reconstruct your system from my list or find a list for your OS.
See to lists below.
