 your post stuck out because I learnt this myself only a very short while
 ago while researching into a some cvs administration stuff

 you did use 'chmod -R' and save yourself quite a bit of typing I hope.
 the sticky bit (on directories anyway) determines the group:user of new/overwritten
 files inside the given directory... it means new files/dir automatically
 inherit the correct perms.

 2 things stop me using OSX:
 
 1. you can't maximise windows like you can elsewhere.
 2. only the bottom/right corner of a window can be used to resize.
 
 they day they 'fix' 2 in the std install is the day I buy a G5.
