But it unfortunately misses all entries with a name of . followed by a single character: .a, .b, .c, etc. But, hey, close enough! Do those by hand, I say!

You forgot the upper case ones 8-)

And yes, I've made this mistake as well (in someone's home directory, so they ended up owning everyone's files). Not quite as serious, perhaps, but a *lot* more embarrassing!
