I want to change the permissions of all the files in my home folder to read only for all users but myself, but to leave directories executable so that they can be opened. I have had difficulty doing this for only other users, and have ended up -xw for myself as well, even tyring many variations of the -o tag. Any help would be fantastic. -- Rhys Hardwick ----------------------------------------------------- | rhys@rhyshardwick.co.uk | www.rhyshardwick.co.uk | | PGP-id - 0x63AB126D | | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| | Windows: Just another pain in the glass. | ***************************************************** ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
