RE: IFS Permissions

Define "remove existing profile" in this context. First, let's talk about
my update from today (chown). chown does change the ownership, if that's
what you mean. But it will not remove specific authorities that have been
granted individually.

chown changes ownerships; chgrp changes group ownership; chaut changes
authorities.

Let's start with the full goal, and go from there.

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.
