Copy directories and maintain permissions
After googling it a second time, I usually decide I should just blog it for future reference:
$ sudo cp -rfp ~/Desktop/blah/* /var/blah
the -p is the key
from $ man cp
-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps--preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps),
if possible additional attributes: context, links, xattr, all
