'chown' and hidden directories

[Aakin N. Patel]

: >chown -R michael: .*

: I tried that. It does bad things as it also does '.' and '..'.

I usually do "chown -R .???*" - that takes care of it.
It won't do any hidden directories with names of less than
two characters, but I don't have any, so it's okay for me.
Might not be applicable in all cases.
