Hi all, Is there any more exhaustive explanation on this command? find / -type f -perm -2. Someone said that it means to find all files which have 'other' write access.
From the man page it only says: -perm mode File’s permission bits are exactly mode (octal or symbolic). Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of departure.
-perm -mode All of the permission bits mode are set for the file.
-perm +mode Any of the permission bits mode are set for the file.
Is there any table that explain all that mode? Thank you.

"Man chmod".
The pertinent part:
A numeric mode is from one to four octal digits (0-7), derived by adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1. Any omitted digits are assumed to be leading zeros. The first digit selects the set user ID (4) and set group ID (2) and sticky (1) attributes. The second digit selects permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third selects permissions for other users in the file’s group, with the same values; and the fourth for other users not in the file’s group, with the same values

Hi William, Thanks for the clue. It took me to several times of reading to get it :) Sometimes I can see complex things fast, but fails to see very simple ones.
