If you need to sort out sub-directories try - where tld is top level directoryThanks nate and Paul..Do I need to use -R recursive option for any of the commands you mentioned? - CS.

How can I give ownership permissions on a particular directory so that any files created in that directory will always have specifc username:groupname permissions?chmod 2775 /your/directory This will assign group ownership of any files created in /your/directory to the group that owns that directory. It won't, however, change user ownership. Allowing that sort of operation would be a great avenue for a denial-of-service attach on any filesystem with quotas.
$ find tld -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 2775 if you need to clean up files (ie not directory) $ find tld -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664I find that openoffice chokes on files with the sticky bit set - it will not save!
Also is there any option that would allow only owner to delete files, even though group has rwx permissions?chmod 3775 /your/directory This combines the 2775 trick mentioned above with an o+s operation. Setting the "sticky bit" on the all-users permissions allows only owners to dispose of files. See the permissions on /tmp or /var/tmp for an example. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos_______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
