    a question for you unix gurus

    I want to find all world writeable directories on a server:

    ls -lR |grep drwxrwxrwx

    does that but DOESNT display what main directory the folder is in.

    So i get all type of folders returned just dont know what parent folder
    they are in..

    Whats the command im looking for?

          You're probably looking for something similar to,

          find / -type d -perm 777 -print

          man find, read up on -perm to tailor to your needs. Also make sure you're root when searching from / or you'll get a ton of permission denied messages.

          S.

              find ./ -perm 777 did the trick! thankie!

              I was already working on an egrep that does a find / and then parses the output through ls-l etc.. hehe

              Thanks!
