Shell script to chown for specific user

Hello All,

Can anybody provide any information on a shell script to change ownership for a specific user 'nuucp'. I know i can use chown -R to change the owner but i have lots of files and directories owned by this user. I need to make sure that other users in the directory aren't effected especially root.

Thanks,

Al
