[SOLVED] Screwed up file permissions

[calebt3]

I managed to screw up my file permissions in /home. I need to set all files to 600, and apparently directories need execute permissions to open so I need all directories and subdirectories in /home set to 700.

what is your question?

[calebt3]

Currently I have everything at 700, but I want to remove the executable bit from everything that isn't a directory.

What you can do is the following:

Go to the /home directory and type the following as root:

find $DIRNAME -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;

Now every directory (wich is still chmodded 700) will be found and entered executing a chmod 600 to the files in it.
