The find command can do this easily.

find /home/smith -type f -perm -002 -exec ll {} \;

Would show you all files that are world write.

or

find /spprod01 -type d -perm -o=w

Would show allow directories with world write.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You could use the find command.

Man find

(#find / -perm +w ) if i am correct?)

[Mel Burslan]

find /filesystem -xdev -type d -perm -o=w

where

-xdev : prevents find command tripping into other sub-filesystems

-type d : find only directories

-perm -o=w : files writable by others (world write=security risk)

[Q4you]

find / -depth -local -xdev -type d -perm -o=w -print

will do it.

[Arunvijai_4]

find / -type f -perm -002 -exec ls -l{} \;

It will start finding from / and give a list.
