title: chown user:group except nobody
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to recursively change user and group on an entire directory while leaving the nobody user intact</p>
  
  <pre><code>chown -vR user:group /home/mydir
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li>will change the ownership of every file under /mydir when I would like to leave all files that belong to nobody:nobody unchanged</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>(this makes sense when you are trying to move a subdomain to a new domain on a cPanel server and don't have the option to use the Modify an Account feature since there are several other subdomains that need to belong to the own user:group) Thank you!</p>
