Final conversion questions

Thanks to help from this list I am proud to say that tonight I will be 
moving our mail server from Linux/Sendmail to FreeBSD/Postfix!  The user 
passwd file has been converted and we are ready to rock, but I have a few 
questions before I begin tonight.

I plan to copy the users home directories over, does anyone have a script 
that will go through the home directories and correctly set the ownership of 
the directories once they are copied over?  Example, user Fred has a home 
dir on the old machine, I copy over the files to the BSD box, I need to 
chown -R fred:users to his home directory.  I could do it by hand, but I am 
sure there has to be a script out there to do something similar?

Second question, I want to make sure ALL files are copied over from the home 
directories and I think I have the syntax wrong to get the files, I want 
the .procmailrc files to transfer over.

Thanks in advance!
