World writable files on UNIX

[Venkatesh_16]

Hi there,

We have two requirements:

1. Script that enumerates World Writable files on UNIX flavors -- are there scripts or tools that can accomplish this? Script should be able to scan servers in batches when executed from a central master server.

2. A standard, like a policy, which discusses from High-Level (executive) down to technical details on what the best-practices are around World Writable drives.

Thanks,
V

You could use find on each server:
find / -perm -o+w
