 8.5 Fixing Permissions
 ======================
 
 Suppose you want to make sure that everyone can write to the
 directories in a certain directory tree.  Here is a way to find
 directories lacking either user or group write permission (or both),
 and fix their permissions:
 
      find . -type d -not -perm -ug=w | xargs chmod ug+w
 
 You could also reverse the operations, if you want to make sure that
 directories do _not_ have world write permission.
