I used "find / -perm 4000" to find all suid files on the system,

what i want to do is "find /home -perm +x" but that doesn't work, i've read
the man page, but i can't quite get it.. what command can i use to find any
file, with any exec bit (u+x OR g+x OR o+x) set?

Thanks

I think 'find /home -perm +111' should work.

'find /home -perm +1' should produce what you are looking for.

root@aeshells.com:~# find /home -perm 1
root@aeshells.com:~# find /home -perm 111
root@aeshells.com:~#

nope, neithier of those work, the part that gets me is that is says in the
man page, "exact permissions"

i've tested this and i can do -perm 740 and it will find any that are
exactly "740, etc.. etc..

is there anyway i can put this in a loop or something find all possible
combinations that include a
1 - 3 -5 -7 at any bit?

instead of manually coding a file that searches for each exact possiblity?

find /home -perm 001 >> find-exe.log
find /home -perm 010 >> find-exe.log
find /home -perm 100 >> find-exe.log
find /home -perm 410 >> find-exe.log
....etc...etc...

there are 343 possible cominations of permissions, and (if i did the right
math) 64 of them would be
exucutable...

anyway to automate this?

Oops, sorry, make that 'find /home -perm +111'. My previous post
would find files with u+x set, not any others.

I should learn to slow down when I'm typing ;-)

You are missing the '+' in front of '1' and '111'.

'find /home -perm +111 ...' works on my Slack 9.1 with GNU find
version 4.1.7

you're forgetting the + sign:

find /home -perm +111

Thank you,

Now how about a script that puts that out put to a file, compares
it a previous output file, then email the differences to me
then if the proper arg is given, have the same script, compare the
output to a list of 'allowed' excutables in the /home. then automag-
ically remove any that are not on the 'allowed' list...

just kidding... i'll do the rest of the work my self, I much appreciate
your, and everyones, help on this post, and a million other past posts.
