[kwlug-disc] chown .* without traversing directories?

[Ronald Barnes]

Hey,

I'm trying to chown some "dot" files but I do not want to traverse UP 
the directory tree, but I do want to recursively traverse subdirectories.


If I run:

chown -vR www-data: ./.*


It goes up (towards / aka root), but I don't want that.


What am I overlooking here?  Seems I'm overlooking something very obvious.



Thanks,

rb
