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.
