To answer your question directly, chmod has a -R option to work recursively, or you can use something like "find . | xargs chmod u+s" if you want to work on only some files. However, there are other ways of doing what you want. For instance you can make all the files owned by group 'foo', and all the concerned users members of group 'foo'. Before they work on these files, they type in "newgrp foo" to make 'foo' their current default group. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D If you're so special, why aren't you dead?
