Need to find directories with 777 permissions

[sebastien_7]

Hello,

What would be the best way to find which directories are set with 777 permissions in all filesystems?

Thanks
Sebastien

# find / -type d -perm 0777 -exec ls -ld {} \;

Use the find command:

find /start_dir -type d -perm 777

Hey Sebastien,
Since you want directories only, use the find command like this:
# find -type d -perm 777 -exec ls -ld {} \;

This will do it for you.
