Quick tip for you guys -- create your own mtree file for /usr/local,
/usr/home, and /var via cron nightly. With that data and the ones provided
for the base system you can fix a machine that someone accidentally "chown
-R /" within minutes. The fact that Linux has nothing equivalent is
frightening. Mtree has saved me a lot of time when customers have broken
their servers.
