Lohit,
I did this while working @ NASA. I had two tools I used, one affectionately
known as "luke file walker" (to modify traditional unix permissions) and
the other known as the "milleniumfacl" (to modify posix ACLs). Stupid jokes
aside, there were some real technical challenges here.

Jonathan brings up a good point that you’ll only get one shot at this — if
you’re using the file system as your record of who owns what.
You might want to use the policy engine to record the existing file names and
ownership (and then provide updates using the same policy engine for the things

Though isn’t there an AD thing now for doing schema view type things now which
allow you to inherit certain attributes and
Hi Lohit (hey Jim & Christof),
Whilst you _could_ trawl your entire filesystem, flip uids and work
out how to successfully replace ACL ids without actually pushing ACLs
(which could break defined inheritance options somewhere in your file
tree if you had not first audited your filesystem) the
