Exactly. I did not make that clear enough in my posting, thanks Jeff.
That was the deeper meaning of why better use the "find" command instead
of using a "chmod -R", because the later affects all things below the
given directory, while the former affects only those type of objects (I
mean directories, files, character devices, block devices ...) you
specifiy with the "type" parameter.
