Allow shared write access to any directory
Authored by: mtimmsj on Jan 11, '06 10:22:40AM
Traditionally the semicolon is escaped by a backslash. So the command as I learned it and as I would run it would be:
sudo find /Users/Shared -type d -exec chmod  g+s {} \;
Either way works though. The original command in the tip would fail with an error from find about there being no terminating semicolon. Good catch.

Allow shared write access to any directory

My submitted hint had:

% sudo find /Users/Shared -type d -exec chmod g+s \{} \;

but the backslashes were removed. Hopefully those can be repaired.
