Hey there,
I know this may be a case of RTM, but I am getting confused on it.
I want to change the permissions of all the files in my home folder to
read only for all users but myself, but to leave directories
executable so that they can be opened. I have had difficulty doing
this for only other users, and have ended up -xw for myself as well,
even tyring many variations of the -o tag. Any help would be fantastic.
find ~ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod og=r
On second thought:
Presuming that you really just want to remove write access, I'd
try 'chmod og-w' or 'chmod og-wx'
That would remove the write bit or the write and execute bits,
but not add the read bit. There tend to be some files in a users
directory that you don't want readable all (like ssh private keys,
cert files etc.)
