I should clarify;
But then if I do a chmod -R 664 *.jpg (and

it works in the directory I'm presently in, but doesn't recurse.

Hi Sluggers,
I'm having a bit of grief with chmod and am hoping one of you gurus will
set me straight pls.
I have a bunch of directories with a bunch of files (pictures) in each.
I want to set directories to 775 and files to 664.
I can do a chmod -R 775 *. But then if I do a chmod -R 664 *.jpg (and
repeat for all other extensions), for some reason the chmod doesn't work.
the man page says; 'chmod -R ug=rwxX *' (if I understand it correctly)
should change just the directories permissions for owner and group. (and
I could do an o=rxX after). But that just works on everything as well.
What am I missing?
