Re: Feature Request: chmod u+s/g+s/+t for dirs only

[Aaron Davies]

FYI my specific use case is a secure environment where files owned by
anyone can be chmod'd via a program that can only run single
commands--if many directories need to be changed, `chmod -R g+S dir`
could be much faster than `find dir -type d -not -perm -g+s -exec
chmod g+s '{}' \;`.
