I wouldn't do it that way. At least on the grep use " jr ". I'd start first with something like this: # cd / # find . -name "*" -print -exec ls -lAdF {} \; | grep " jr " > fixit # I'd then edit up fixit for the parts which looked fixable like this # grep " root " fixit > fixroot Then I'd edit up fixroot to have chown root <full path name here> # grep -v " jr root " fixit > fixnoroot This one will take more effort. You'll have to figure out what the user names should be. Actually, I think I might go for a re-install.
