Re: confusing behaviour of the * wildcard when handling "dot" files and dirs.

But then again: how does one tackle dirs of the sort .ssh/ .vim/ etc.? If
these also reside under /home/foouser and I want to chown them don't I need
to have a way to wildcard them? (by going up one level and doing a chown -R
foouser /home/foouser/ seems an option...)

The easiest for me to remember is
.[a-zA-Z]*

It won't match directories like "..a", ".$", "...", etc.
