I suggest to try C-c C-o on the first line that has wrong indentation
and to follow the prompts.  Then hit TAB to reindent the line.  When
you like the indentation, you can use C-x ESC ESC and then M-p/M-n to
retrieve the right c-set-offset statement.  That's what you can put
in the hook, below:

>         (setq c-basic-offset 0)

>      )

This is not a good idea to do, either, as you are overriding old
values for the hook.  Never use setq on a hook.  Always use add-hook
instead.  Here's my suggestion, fill in the missing c-set-offset
statements here:

(defun oodini-c-indent-setup ()
  (setq c-basic-offset 5)
  (c-set-offset ...))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'oodini-c-indent-setup)

You didn't say which version of Emacs you are using.  I'm assuming
Emacs 21.  Probably the above works for Emacs 20, too.
