As SU and in /home/michael folder I'am running the command;

chown -R michael:michael *

But it is not changing to owner "michael" in SOME of the folders and
files in his 'home' folders.
What command would I use ??
----
should work...

chmod -R michael:michael /home/user/michael

cd /home/user/michael
find . ! -user michael

will return all files/folders not owned by 'user' michael

(shouldn't be any)
