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?

"world writable" "folders" i sound like a windows person

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!
