Recursively changing permissions on files

Please excuse for double posting, but since this seems like a " yep, me dummy question", I feel I should post here.Smilie

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.

HARDENED-LD(1)							 Debian GNU/Linux						    HARDENED-LD(1)

NAME
hardened-ld - linker wrapper to enforce hardening toolchain improvements SYNOPSIS
export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 ld ... DESCRIPTION
The hardened-ld wrapper is normally used by calling ld as usual with DEB_BUILD_HARDENING set to 1. It will configure the necessary toolchain hardening features. By default, all features are enabled. If a given feature does not work correctly and needs to be disabled, the corresponding environment variables mentioned below can be set to 0. ENVIRONMENT
DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 Enable hardening features. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 Print the full resulting gcc command line to STDERR before calling gcc. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_RELRO=0 Don't mark ELF sections read-only after start. See README.Debian for details. DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_BINDNOW=0 Don't mark ELF loader for start-up dynamic resolution. See README.Debian for details. NOTES
System-wide settings can be added to /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf, one per line. The real ld is renamed ld.real, and a diversion is registered with dpkg-divert(1). Thus hardened-ld's idea of the default ld is dictated by whatever package installed /usr/bin/ld. SEE ALSO
