If I understand correctly, I believe using --chmod without using --perms (or with --no-p) will do what you want. Typical command lines often use -a which equates to -rlptgoD (i.e. it includes -p/--perms). So you either need to not use -a and instead use the remaining combination of options explicitly, or use --no-p. See the man page, specifically the sections for --perms and -a. -- Derek Martin Principal System Software Engineer Akamai Technologies demar...@akamai.com -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
