need to change files/dirs! chmod of course

Hi.

Something has happened.. probably due to phat thumbs over the past few
days. I've discovered that some dirs/files have had the permissions
altered. i've got another "clone" that has the dirs/files for the most
part, so I can chmod as needed..

However..
I'm trying to figure out how to "ls -al" all dirs in a dir, so I can
then use the same basic cmd to chmod (when compared to the clone)

something like this:
  find /etc/ -maxdepth 0 -type d -exec ls -al "{}" \;
doesn't work as it lists all in the dir...

so I'm looking to do this for "dirs"  and then "files" in a given dir...

I've seen examples for recursion.. but I'm simply looking for the
same/horizontal dir..

weird that I can't get this working..  it's a 2 min deal!

thanks
