Finding files.....

[Lucien Wolfs]

Hi,

I trying to find out how to find files that have a bit in the "others" byte set,
something like: a+w and/or a+r and/or a+x.


Have studied the find man page, tried many things, but seem not to be able to do so.
I hope anybody ever done something before, so who will help me..?!

Hi,

here my solution:

find \( -perm -o+r -o -perm -o+w -o -perm -o+x \) -print ....

The fitpall I fell into was:

find . \( -perm -o+r -o -perm -o+w -o -perm -o+x \) -exec ls -lia {} \;

If the directory is world readable/writeable/executable, a listing of '.' is presented !
