Hello,
  I've got a problem, a directory area has the wrong permissions, occurred

from a dump restore. Now my user's can't get to the files within the area. I

could go around and do chmod permissions directoryname, but i was wondering
if there was a perl or shell script that would do this?

cd $topdir find . -type d | xargs chmod 755

In case (potentially) untrusted users have had write permission in this directory tree in the past, a safer alternative would be


find /path/to/tree/root -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755

Better safe than sorry.
