Wondering what files and directories on your (Unix, Linux, OS X) system are marked "public writeable"?

There should be very few indeed (none is good), but the following will wheedle them out.

find . -perm -2 -print

""Find, under the current directory ('.') all symbols with permission bit "2" set, regardless of other permission bits on that symbol, and print out the path to that symbol""

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
