I did them one at a time, the above command would have done it in one fell
swoop?

I'm guessing the ones >'d in could be chown'd?

Something weird last night, after chown'ng fifty or so "ntp's" my system
started acting sluggish and the file system went into "read only mode",
info center said "are you running mfdb? there are no days of listings".

I rebooted into a previous kernel, and the sun was shining, in that virtual
world, last night's and this morning's recordings went good, and now I've
rebooted into the latest kernel, and the sun is shining again? Last time
this happened I scrambled to restore a system and database backup. I'm left
happily curious?!   Daryl
