I would do this first to avoid any surprises with links, if there are
any:
find [dir] -type l | more
Then:
find [dir] -exec chown user:group {} \;


[dir] being your top dir

Subject: What syntax for global 'chown' fix?


While the example commands below work to change permission for either a
complete system or for a complete directory and all sub-directories,
what would the syntax be for a similar command to 'chown' (change the
owner) globally or for a designated directory and and the files and
subdirectories below it?

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644 find . -type d -print0 |
xargs -0 chmod 755

find dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644 find dir -type d -print0 |
xargs -0 chmod 744
