Another question on this subject - how do you assign authority to the tree
? For example, I have an IFS directory /Stuff with subdirectories
/SomeStuff and /OtherStuff how do I *EASILY* change the object authority or
owner for all files and subdirectories under the /Stuff directory ?

So far the only way I've found is to do it one object at a time using
CHGAUT. or point, click, click, click, right click, type, click, etc etc
using Oops navigator (I loathe GUI's).

Green screen solution preferred, but Oops navigator method accepted !

I could *almost* live with this if I had to do it directory by directory
and the files in the directory got the correct authority/ownership.

Do I need to write a program to walk the tree and grant this
authority/change ownership link by link ?

I can understand IBM not wanting to automatically have subdirectories
inherit authority, but you'd think somewhere there would be a command that
gave you the option...
