find wrong permissions

[RobinVossen]

---

Hey

I want to quickly check my system for badly configured permissions
So I did this:
find /etc/ -perm **6

But it didn't work at all.. so I thought about doing this
find / -perm {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}6

So, is there a way to do something like this?

irrespective of other permissions, then you should try -g=rw.

Hi Guys,

I'm struggling with find and permissions.
I'm trying to find files with more permissive permissions than 640 so
740 or 644 would match but 400 wouldn't for example.

I want to use find only as there maybe funny characters in the filenames and want to use -print0 to work around the problem.

Any suggestions?

This appears to give the desired result:

find /var/log -type f \( -perm -u=x -o -perm -g=w -o -perm -o=rw \)

(I didn't use the - before the user/group/other flag in my previous attempts!)
