There is a difference between "working" and "working securely and as

Something like this could get you started. It lists all non-root dir and
file ownership on the good machines. Then you can compare the broken
one:
sudo ls -laRF / | grep -v "root root" > $HOME/permissions.txt
It would be neater if it filtered out the non-matching dirs/files, but I
didn't manage.
