An explanation for those not versed in command prompt unix

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

Couldn't have explained it better myself! I thought it was good! :)

/me looks sheepish & ungeeky

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.
