This is what I needed! Thanks.
I got my friendly neighborhood superuser to do
this. It worked. It stinks that I cannot do
this myself.
When I moved a farm I found that I could not edit some
files. We had to change the owner everything but the
wiki.d and the upload directorires. Again the superuser
had todo this with
cd (directory where files are located)
find . -user currentownername | xargs chown newownername
