I need to find all world-writable files on the system
This is one you get all the time from auditors...
find / -perm +o=w -print
I know, you don't really need the -print but old habits...
Do you remember the classic systems pictured below? Perhaps you get the cold sweats looking at them. They are the systems that were "hot" just when the Internet was getting hot, too.
Sun SPARC 20
The original pizza box. In my case, it served up files and NIS for 100 engineers.
HP/Compaq DL580
Forget windows...load it with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for a screamin' performer.
IBM RS/6000 F50
UNIX/AIX from Big Blue. Get out your book of boot codes.
Sun Ultra Enterprise 450
The dorm refrigerator! How many HTML pages did this serve in 1999?
