Yep. I have a script called setperms for just this reason:
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/setperms
and run it mostly with this script:
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/755
(also linked to 700 and 750 and 775, the common configs).
And the other script I use heavily at work for shared areas is this one:
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/groupshare
Very very handy.
