It's only the owner and yes, the problem is, that the owner not always
is root for important directories. I had to switch the uid for the owner
from 1001 to 1000, when I changed the owner for all files from 1001 to
1000, some owners in */bin and */lib directories were accidentally
changed too, for what reason ever.
