So that any user could read/write files I recursively changed modes for all files and directories to rw (i.e. chmod 666 *). Dumb me, eh? I now need to recursively change all directories only to xr instead of rw. What is an easy and quick way to do this? I thought of using 'ls -dR' and piping 'chmod' through it: ls -dR | chmod 555 * but ls -d just gives me . .. and no directory names. What should I do to change these rights?
