RE: IFS Permissions

It's a command I have used once, maybe, a long time ago. I don't remember
what all it can do or even how to use it. I just threw it out there to get
the conversation started...

Does CHMOD remove existing profiles from objects? Because that's a primary
goal I need to accomplish as well.

Yes, chmod is correct, and has the -R (recursive) option.

I'm confused why you id'd that command but apparently felt it may not be
satisfactory. Did you find a limitation you're not sharing?

Is there a unix-type command, CHMOD possibly?, that I can use to do
the
following:

- Change authorities for an already attached user profile

- Remove one or more user profiles already authorized to the
objects



I have something like 6 million IFS objects (images) in one directory
and
they are owned by something like 5 profiles. I want/need to reduce
that to
a single profile owner.



To make this more challenging, there are a ton of sub-directories below
the
parent directory.



I know I could write a program to recurse through all this and do it
but it
seems like there should be unix command already to do this and I'm just
not
seeing it.
