I did something very similar today, except my mistake was to chown the entire filesystem, which is just as bad. What I ended up doing was going to another machine that was almost identical and running: find /usr | while read f; do stat "$f" --prinf "chown $U:$G $n ; chmod $a $n\n" ; done > /tmp/filelist then I copied this file to the bad machine and went: bash /tmp/filelist Eventually I got the files pretty much fixed.
