Hi all.

I'm trying to install a yabb forum on my web space but I'm having problems setting chmod permissions for each of the folders - there are dozens of files and folders that need setting. I'm suprised that a script isn't included to do this automatically. Anyway, can anyone suggest a script which could read the lists below and in turn issue the correct chmod command.

Thanks.

------- NON cgi-bin section ---------
