tar extraction changes ownership of /root directory
I have a tar and when extracting it changes /root to a uid and gid of the source server which is bad especially for /root!
You can get around this by extracting as follows:
Add the -o switch which means "--no-same-owner"
tar -o -zxvf sometar.tar.gz
