maybe you could also use find / -not -perm -g=rwx -printf "%p %M\n" This will search your entire file system and print out all the files that dont have exactly rwx in group permissions. >>> Asanka Gunasekera <asanka_gunasekera@xxxxxxxxxxx> 14:53 06/07/2006 >>> Try this ls -Rdl | grep rwx------ > 123 ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrew.Bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, 4 July, 2006 4:08:40 PM Subject: Searching through Directories and Files. Hello, I am currently running many Redhat machines and wondered if someone could give the correct command to recursively find out which Files and Directories have not got rwx in the group permission's for example things like rwx- - - - - - and also i need to find out which directories do not have the group set to "projects" group. Any help would be much appreciated.
