Hi there,

I tried to rerun the command you specified above on one of our systems but there seems to be something wrong with the syntax and I myself have never used the -tR option when running chmod ...

However if you'd like to change only directories and subdirectories you might use a little script like e.g.:

---------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh

find ./ -type d > /tmp/dir.out
for items in `cat /tmp/dir.out`
do
chmod -tR $items
done
---------------------------------

But you'll have to be in the directory that subdirecories you want to change when you run this script because of the " find ./ ".

I think chmod is seeing your R as an invalid permission flag and ignoring it. Per the command's syntax spec, the -R for recursive needs to come before any permissions flags, like so:

chmod -R -t .
