chown dirs recursively?
How do I chown directorys recursively? E.g. subdirectorys and all files in the subdirs. I tried pipe-ing ln to chown, but I'm an idiot, so I probably did it all wrong. Help?

You don't even need to run ls for that at all. Just try something like this:

chown -R elysium:admin /home/elysium
