Umm, that changes .. and its children, too, which is probably not what you want. That, and long command lines can be problematic if the glob expands to too much, you might have issues if there are no matches the glob, and you have problems if any files begin with '-'. Better is: chmod -R owner . and let chmod do the recursion over all files in '.' itself without having to worry about how to glob all of them. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
