    I'm looking through the Handbook to learn how to secure my FreeBSD 
4.9 system.  While reading 10.2( 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/security-intro.html 
) it makes reference to the chflags command.
Is there a difference between "chflags -R schg /sbin *" and "chflags 
schg /sbin *"?

Thank You
