Weird and Sudden permissions problem

[Peter L. Peres]

One-liners to change directory and file permissions to sane values under a
tree. To change ownership of both files and directories recursively (you
may have to be root to run these commands, especially the first one):

chown -R user.group ./here

make directories browsable:

find ./here -type d -exec chmod +rx {} \;

make files readable:

find ./here -type f -exec chmod +r {} \;

You can change +rx and +r to more liberal values if you want.
