In general, I find all this thread (wrong file owner) a bit boring. This
is a mayor damage and can only be repaired by a new installation. A lot
of files and directories in the systems filesystem, in / /var /usr, have
dedicated owner to allow certain processes which does not run as 'root'
to do their correct work there, for exmample 'mail'; i.e. you can not
do just a complete "chown -R root .... " and expect that the system
still works;
the same is true for the ports below /usr/local; just run on a correct
system something like:
# find /usr/local -exec ls -ld {} \; | fgrep -v root
to get a list about what I am talking.
