Or if you have an interest, you can install the Cygnus tools and from the command line do, cd my_directory find . ! -perm -0200 -print0 | xargs -0 chmod u+w ... which says, find everything under this subdirectory that doesn't have write permission for the file owner, and turn on write permission for the file owner on those files. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/ _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
