     modifyPermissionsAndOwnership - modify permissions	and ownership of files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sysadm/privbin/modifyPermissionsAndOwnership [-u <pstring>] [-p
     <pstring>]	[-d <pstring>] [-O <uid	| uname>] [-G <gid | gname>] [-D]
     file1 file2 ... fileN, [<next-set-of-modifications-and-files>,] ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     modifyPermissionsAndOwnership modifies the	permissions and/or ownership
     of	files and directories using chown(1) and chmod(1).

     The modifyPermissionsAndOwnership command requires	at least one set of
     modifications and one set of files.  These	sets must be non-empty.	 Each
     pair of modifications and the files they should be	applied	to should be
     separated by commas.

     The modifications can be specified	as follows (at least one is required):

     -u	<pstring>
	  Specifies the	changes	to make	to the user permissions.

     -p	<pstring>
	  Specifies the	changes	to make	to the group permissions.

     -d	<pstring>
	  Specifies the	changes	to make	to the world/other permissions.

     <pstring> has the following format:
	  [r<+|->][w<+|->][x<+|->] where "r+w-"	indicates that read permission
	  should be added, write permissions should be taken away, and execute
	  permission should remain unchanged

     -O	<uid | uname>
	  Specifies the	new owner ID or	name.

     -g	<gid | gname>
	  Specifies the	new group ID or	name.

     -D	  Specifies that the command should be applied recursively to
	  directories (ie. descend into	directories and	repeat command on
	  their	contents). Note	that modifications specified on	execute
	  permissions will only	be applied to the contained subdirectories and
	  not the contained files.
