chown a directory + all subdirectories and files

[cybercampbell]

I know how to chown just a file or a directory

e.g.
chown newowner file.ext
chown newowner directory

But how do I chown a directory + all subdirectories and files.

Any ideas?

chown -R

It's also handy to know how to do "user:group" in there too. :)
