Greg,
I don't see it either, but you should be able to accomplish the same effect by
using the "find" command. See "man find" and search for "-type". On my
system, the types "directory" (d) and "regular file" (f) are supported...
So, something like:
find <target-dir> -type d -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
find <target-dir> -type f -exec chmod 644 \{\} \;
_should_ work (assuming that you replace <target-dir> with the directory you
want to change. But, be aware that I haven't tested this _At_All_! At the
very least, you should do a test run, by replacing "chmod NNN" with "echo",
BEFORE doing something that will make changes to your filesystem--You Have
Been Warned... Also, "Please Note": the \'s are there for a reason. I'll
leave it as an 'exercise for the reader' to figure out 'why?'...)

P.S. In the future, please consider asking this sort of question on the
"newbie" list (or, better yet, on a generic linux/unix list.) YCITMIGA...
