Not sure what krename does, but yes an rpm --setugids `rpm -qa` and an
rpm --setperms `rpm -qa` will reset all file perms and ownership for all
files managed under RPM.
I gave a simple awk command to reset the perms in /home in an earlier
post, basically using awk to parse the passwd fields and then issuing a
shell statement with them.
