It demonstrates the problem of Linux's jargon[1].
That file has 32 entries. Only 2 are relate to my problem ["richard" & 
"root"]. Who is "owner" {more jargon} of specific files &/or 
directories. What is needed the concept of something similar to 
Intellectual Property.

I started trying to restate my problem unambiguously.
While looking for some local concrete examples I think I thought of 
another line of attack on my problem. My homework assignment for to day 
is "Investigate further" ;/
