hi all,
        I have got a dircetory with all its subdirs and files in the mode
700. I wish to change the mode of all the directories to 755 and files
in them to 644. Is there a way it can be done easily? chmod does not seem
to distinguish between dir and files.

        Moreover is there a cool way to change the mode of all files
starting with "." ? ".*" seems to match even ".." and during a recursive
chmod changes the modes in even the parent directory. 

        Bye... and thanks in advance.
