Jason,
You can do:
cd /; chown -R root *;chgrp -R root *
This will make _all_ the files, including
those in directories, subdirectories and
subsubdirectories and so on be owned by root
and belong to root group. Before that, you
may want to 'tar -czvf /home' to back it up,
since that's the only place where you want
your users to still own their files.
I am not sure what to do about ocassional
files that are owned by 'news' and 'sys'.
