OK

Here is what I did before i packed up - having been working late

just changed ownerships of files in a virtual web 

chown -R www ./*

fine

folllowed by change of group with the dreaded typo of:

chown -R www /*
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooops

fortunately hit crt c pretty damn quick but some damage was done.

While I limited the damage I wanted to double check which of the standard os 
file hierarchies are meant to be in group "operator" and also owned by root. 
That seems to be the only   doubt I have the rest was easily recovered.

Any help appreciated
