chmod -R u+r ~/* is always (and has always been) non-destructive. But it's not complete, since it won't chmod dotfiles. This leads people to try chmod -R u+r ~/* ~/.* which _is_ destructive. In a case like that, it's always much better to do chmod -R u+r ~ which works correctly. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
