It's rather prodigious (and slow, as warned by the man page). If I limit 
it to my own uid on that server, I get:

Thanks for explaining  that. I've never used the command before and the 
man pages weren't closing the gap.

Not sure how that will help my local user have write permissions to 
ryanjohn's files, tho...
