Recursively find and change Permissions on Man pages

altamaha · #1 (**permalink**) 02-29-2008

Just joined after using the site as a guest.. (Very Good Stuff in here.. thanks folks.)

I am in the process of hardening a Solaris 10 server using JASS. I also must use DISA Security Checklists (SRR) scripts to test for things that did not get hardened to DISA standards.

One of the things missing is a script that would change all of the permissions on various man pages to be no more permisive than 644.

I know I can do it by manually finding and changing them, but it would be great if someone allready had a script in place.

Thanks again for a great place to browse and learn.

How about just:
find /usr/share/man -type f | xargs chmod 644
