Just a quick script I wrote then, untested completely. http://mist.dropbear.id.au/src/fixown.sh So to get that cranking do the following: wget http://mist.dropbear.id.au/src/fixown.sh chmod +x fixown.sh su -c ./fixown.sh It's written to work with bash, and changes all the ownerships of the folders. If the user of the folder does not exist, it will start spitting out error messages ;-) If anyone sees an error, please tell me. And Richard, could you please explain what the big 'C' like ASCII art in your sig is supposed to be? ;-) - Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
