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.
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.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
hardened-ld
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.
