need to find all world writable files

[Richard Pereira_1]

Hi,

I have a request from my client to find ALL files and directories that have world writable permissions. My first guess was find could do it, but it seems limited to ACLs. Before I go scripting something, I thought i would ask here..

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Richard

find works perfectly for this.

find / -perm 002 -type f -type d
