here is a question for you folks.  i have a directory with subdirectories which 
contains my web site. it is /backup/website and files & subdirectories exist under 
that.  when i cd to /backup/website and run

chmod -R 644 *.jpg *.gif *.htm

it will not work on the contents of the subdirectories.  i have also tried

chmod 644 -R *.jpg *.gif *.htm
and 
chmod 644 *.jpg *.gif *.htm -R
and 
I have tried these as root.  as user i do have access & permission to all files and 
directories under /backup/website and my user account is the owner.  anyone know why 
the -R doesn't work with chmod?
