### Changing user and group ownership of files

Use `chown $user: [PATH]` instead of `chown $user:$user [PATH]` - the empty group parameter will cause chown to use the users login group. This resolves issues on systems where the user doesn't have their own group (eg. where all users are in a `users` group).
