RE: IFS Permissions

Rereading your requirement, you may want chown instead. chown is documented
in the same manual, and also includes the -R option for recursion.

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.
