    Find command help for the linux noobie

    I'm having trouble with the Find / -perm command. I am trying to located + subdirectories all the files in my home directory granting read, write execute for all users

    I don't know if I should do
    find / -perm +u=rwx
    find / -perm -u=rwx
    find / -perm -o=rwx
    find / -perm +o=rwx.


    Help much appreciated.

    On my man page it looks more like
    Code:
    find .-perm / u=w, g=w

    If you're saying the 'u' than is it + or - version? Does anyone know?

    I gave you exactly how each of the four are written, because its homework.

    Asking for help with homework is against forum rules.
