Hi,
Look at 'man find'. Basically, what you want is something like
find <basedir> -type d -exec chmod 775 \{\} \; -o -exec chmod 664 \{\}
\;
Here, <basedir> is the root of the directory tree in which you want this
to be done. -type d is the condition that you found a directory, and
then you execute the chmod 755 on it (\{\} is replaced by the name of
the current file). The -o means 'or', ie, this is not a directory in
which case you exec the other chmod (this is approximate, if you want to
be really careful, you might want to check the situation when the file
is a directory, but the chmod fails for some reason)
The thing with the chgrp can be done similarly.
