The issue with that is that i need to do it to a whole system - every file,
lock stock and barrel. What i'd prefer is to have a way to **give**
ownership to Everyone for the bulk of the files, or at least to make sure
that the large majority of them are available to pretty much any user of
the computer (due to filesharing issues)

The reason i'm asking all of this here is that i'm fairly confident with
Unix file permissions, but ACLs still mess me up :/

A step-by-step explanation would be great :) Unexpected, but great :)
