-rw-r----- 1 root root 342 Feb 10 2010 ./app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/log/itorcl/client/ocrconfig_22130.log
Notice:
1) except for the last file, (mostly directories) there is no parentage shown
2) even though my spec to 'find' was '-user root' there are several files/dirs that are NOT owned by root.
I'm sure the problem is in my (mis)understanding of some intricacy of 'find' .....
