Hey, I searched the archives, but haven't seen anything regarding this. I am interested in a feature addition to chmod for the equivalent of +X (Add x bit only if it's a dir), except for read and write (R and W?). I'm not sure how useful W would be - but R would be quite useful for allowing the reading and traversing of dirs without giving read permission to the contents of the dirs. I know you can do this with a find - that's what I've done in the past. I'm just wondering if this have been discussed, if it's a horrible idea, etc. If it's a good idea, I'll gladly write a patch - just let me know who to send it to. If this is the wrong mailing list, let me know that too. thanks, dan
