finding files with set guid set

[Janice Bradford]

Can anyone give me the syntax for finding files with the "set guid" set? I have tried several times with the find command using:
find / -type f -perm -g=xxx -print

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

find -type f -perm -2000 -print

will list all plain files with suid set on group.

find / -type f -perm -2000 -print #finds setgids

find / -type f -perm -4000 -print #finds setuids

find / -type f -perm -6000 -print #find files with setuid AND setgid bits set

find / -type f i\( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -print #find files with setuid OR setgid bits set

Use:

find . -type f -perm -2000

Ooops,

find / -type f i\( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -print #find files with setuid OR setgid bits set

should be:

find / -type f \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -print #find files with setuid OR setgid bits set

Hi Janice,

# find / \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -exec ls -ld {} \; | more

Hi Janice:

You can use:

# find /path -xdev -type f -perm -u+s

...will find files with the setuid bit whether or not the owner's execute bit is on ("s") or off ("S").

Hi (again) Janice:

My apologies, There was a "g" after the word "set" and beofre the "uid". Since you want to find those files where the S_ISGID ('setgid') bit is set, do:

# find /path -xdev -type f -perm -g+s

Regards!
