    unix command.. quick question

    ok, quick question... I'm trying to chmod a directory and all it's subdirectories to 777 but I want to leave all the files at 755. Will this command do it?

    find . -type d | chmod 755 directoryname

    directoryname being the one i'd like to start in.

    ??

    Sorry, my unix is pretty rusty and any help would be appreciated.

              No problem

              Just so you know, I actually went and tested that on both FreeBSD and Linux (the find command differs slightly between them) and it works just fine on both.
