If you have too many files, then invoking chown for every match will
be slow. For large data sets, I combine xargs like this:
find <opts> -print0 | xargs -0 chown newowner:newgroup
Another neat usage for find is to recursively list file details:
find -ls
Filter this output with awk/grep and can quickly select interesting files,
import this into a spread sheet as delimited text, etc.
