No. You just need other tool than chown, you need tool that changes
uid->uid. And you run it as chown -from olduser -to newuser -R /,
which looks for all files owned by olduser and makes newuser own
them. Just go ahead and write this tool. (And mail me a copy ;-). (I
would also appredicate option to delete such files).
