Sorry for reviving an old issue - but I don't remember seeing anything since
this. I was wondering if there been a release of CMU Util  with the
permissions issue fixed?  I ran a migrate from a RAQ2 to a RAQ3 and still
had all the web files beling to admin.  Both boxes have the CMU Release
1.1-22 version.  I also tried fixing the permissions with above suggestions
but was unable to do so: (errors to follow)

[root@www3 web]# find . -type f | xargs chmod 664
xargs: unmatched single quote
Broken pipe

[root@www3 web]# find . -type f -name "*\.cgi" | xargs chmod 775
chmod: too few arguments
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

I have already moved around 10 sites out of 50 and would like to know what
additional steps are needed before I continue.

Thanks
Eric
