Ok. I found another way of doing it. Since chown does not appear to work
the way the "chown --help" says that it will. I now run this find command:
find ./ -user ryukyu -group settlers -exec chown skb.skb {} \;
Now, can someone explain to me what the "{} \;" part of the command does/is
for? It won't run without that part and I can't find anyplace that tells
me what it is for.
Thanks
Steve
