   As root I moved a directory structure.  So that any user could

   directories to rw (i.e. chmod 666 *).  Dumb me, eh?  I now need to
   recursively change all directories only to xr instead of rw.  What
   is an easy and quick way to do this?  I thought of using 'ls -dR'
   and piping 'chmod' through it:
   
   ls -dR | chmod 555 * 
   
   but ls -d just gives me . .. and no directory names.
   
   What should I do to change these rights?

chmod -R go-w+rX *
