Hello,
chmod does not enter subdirectories for recursive changing file
permissions if there are no files of the given type in the
top-level directiry.
i.e:
corvus:/ogg-files# chmod -x *.ogg -R
chmod: failed to get attributes of `*.ogg': No such file or directory
corvus:/ogg-files# cp ./new/radio tux/sendung001.ogg .
corvus:/ogg-files# chmod -x *.ogg -R
corvus:/ogg-files#
And suddenly all the ogg-files in the subdirectories got their execution
right removed.
That is a very ugly behaviour.
Sorry, no patch from me. I do not have much experience with code of
the coreutils.
Good luck,
Benjamin Rampe
