[mdlug] a chown -R disaster recovery question

Hello, let's say I have a system where there are hundreds of users, with a
system of NIS-mapped home dirs such as this:

/filesystem/vol/users/user1
/filesystem/vol/users/user2
/filesystem/vol/users/user3 
...
/filesystem1/vol1/users/userX

and each user is owner of their own home dir.

Accidentally, I go through at the level of /filesystem/vol and 
I chmod -R user1 *   (I know, that was a mistake).

Is there a way to run back through that and chown everyone back?

Thanks,
