Checking File Permissions

[btinder]

Hi all,

I saw a thread about finding files with certain permissions, but I wanted the find command to list files that DON'T have the specified permissions, and are owned by a proper group.

Example:

findperms.ksh <path> <group> <permissions>

<path> = Path to search through (subdirs and files too).
<group> = Correct group
<permissions> = Permissions every file should have.

findperms.ksh /bin root 755

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

man find

find /bin -group root -perm 755

Vlad: This would work, but I want to show files/directories that DON'T have the specified permissions.

That find command would only show those that had the specified permissions.

And what about this ?
find /bin -group root ! -perm 755

Hope This Help, PH.
