LOL!   Yeah, Steve... I can and did!  (Gently!)
My best guess is that he was trying to change ownership on something 
within a site and did a chown -R * from the wrong directory.   And once 
you hit that ENTER key.... zoom!

There are still a lot of little ownership problems all throughout the 
sites on the server, but right now they're not impacting his operation. 
  That will all kick in as soon as they go to update a site, or remove a 
user, or somehow interact with one of the files that isn't owned by the 
right user.   So that will all eventually have to be sorted.

Anyway, about 5 days after he's submitted his first ticket about the 
issue, his operations are back to normal.   That's a hard lesson we can 
all take something from on being careful when we're running around in 
the CLI.
