Not to worry, everything can be fixed with a little attention...  

All directories from /home/sites/www.customer.com/ must be owned by the
appropriate group called siteX (the directory name that
/home/sites/www.customer.com is a symbolic link to.)  You can enable
sticky bits for a site by running "chmod g+s directoryname" where
directoryname would be the name for the directory.  The sticky bit
forces files that are created in that directory to assume the group
ownership regardless of whether the user creating those files is a
member of that group or not.  Group quota is equivalent to site quota. 
So if group ownership is lost, site quotas don't mean much.  

The best way to make sure your directory ownership and permissions are
in their intended state is to create a new site, add a user or two and
compare the new site with the older, hacked and re-hacked site.  

My apologies to anyone who doesn't understand my babble but this is not
of importance if you haven't been playing with frontpage as root on a
RaQ 2 or 3i.
