Question How to compare two identical directories for possible different permissions and owner

Hi

I am not new to Unix, but couldn't think of a simpler way to determine if given two directories (mostly containing the same contents) differ in user permissions & owner for the same corresponding same files
The below example, Dir A & Dir B have contain identical contents except that the file/dir permissions and the owner are different for the corresponding files/dirs

Dir A
drwxrwxrwx user1 grp1 dir 1
-rwxr-xr-x user2 grp2 file 1
-rwxrwxrwx user3 grp1 file 2
Dir B
drwxrwxr-x user1 grp1 dir 1
-rwxr-xr-x user2 grp3 file 1
-rwxr-xr-x user3 grp1 file 2

I would appreciate if anybody could suggest a clean solution to determine for every file/dir within how they differ:
owner only
permissions only
both owner and permissions

Thanks in anticipation,
Jason.

Send a message via AIM to L7Sqr
do some long listing (as you show) of DirA into a file (fileA.list)
do some long listing of DirB into a file (fileB.list)
diff fileA.list fileB.list
