Status: Open => Answered
Larry Jordan proposed the following answer:
It seems possible, but I don't have an account that uses a mail directory
anymore. Also, the directory as you specified on the command line above is
"/*", which is the root directory anyway (wouldn't be just the mail directory).
If you meant to say "chown -cR name:users ./*" (with a period before the
slash), then it only occurred in the mail directory.
I don't see the "name:users" as an option in the chown man page, but
assuming you know what you were doing there. You should STILL be able to
change permissions and ownership on files as root at any time, as long as
"root" still has access, but as far as who the owner should be - don't think
anyone wants to try to track that if you DID do it as just a slash.
By the way, if you're not sure what you typed originally, you know you can
use the "history" command to double check.
