   So if I'm following this right, then I just need to run rpm --setugids `rpm
-qa` as root, from /, and this should set the owner & groups on all files,  as
appropriate? Except for of course the files in /home?
    As for my original plan, I saw krename in yum. At first glance, that looks
like it should do what I wanted. Anyone have experience with it?
