Hi,

if you do a ls -l to a directory you'll see the permissions:
-rwxrwxrwx is a file who has r(ead)/w(rite)/(e)x(ecute) permissions for user (the first three rwx), group (the second group rwx) and all users (i.e. 'world', the last three rwx).

Seee also 'man chmod' for the explanations.
A '-' shows that the specific group don't have the specific right.
So 'not a system world writable files' have:
-rwxrwxr-x

you mean :
find the world writable files on a system
find . -perm -02 -exec ls -ld {} \;

find the none world writable files in a directory
find . ! -perm -02 -exec ls -ld {} \;

writable files are those which have a
"w" at the following position looking at
# ls -l toto
--------w- 1 root bin 0 May 28 11:32 toto

you have
owner group world
rwx rwx rwx

it also be converted in octal each letter set corresponding to a 1.
So 02 is world writeonly
754 eq rwxr-xr--
is rwx for owner
rx for group
r for world

Hi Laurent Menase,

I want to know that those are not a world system files in a system other than user files.

Example:- Is there any OS files by default world writable files.

Hi again,

please re-read what Bill has answered to you:

By default there's no need in HP-UX for world writable files.
With some applications installed this could change ...
