cats$ -> The machine running this command is called cats chown -> change the ownership of the files -R -> Recursively us:us -> to the user "us" yourbase -> files are the directory "yourbase/"
So fundamentally, this command will search through the directory yourbase and it's sub points changing the ownership of any files it finds to the user "us", on the machine cats. I.e. on CATS : ALL YOURBASE ARE BELONG TO US

Ah. Having the Original PuddingCat eating me out of house & home, I read "chown" as "chow" with an "n" on the end.
I seem to have missed out on the programming gene.
