heh heh. That's pretty good. SO I don't think this all too much of a problem. Most things are root:root anyway. On my machine everything is root:root except /home == root:staff /home/* where * !==lost&found == <user>:<user> /usr/local & /var/local == root:staff /var/mail == root:mail /var/mail/<user> == <user>:mail /tmp is no big deal as it should get wiped at reboot. If not, just wipe it yourself. I'm sure there are others, but they should become obvious as you go along. Also, I would bet, that routine upgrading (assuming your not on stable) will probably fix up the rest over time. have fun! A
