If your list includes the right owners, maybe you can grep the lines for each owner in turn and use xargs to change all the files in each subset. But don't ask me for a script, for it would take me too long to work it out. You should post a sample of your list. By the way, what's rpm -Va --nomd5 do? HTH --Jason
