GNU find at least has some more advanced options for this. Is installing it an option?
Also, even with regular basic old-skool BSD find, I don't really think you need to painstakingly repeat the
-type f -- just add parentheses, but note that you have to backslash-escape them because they are special to the shell, too.
Code:
find $MANDIR -type f \( -perm -7 -o -perm -6 -o -perm -5 -o -perm -3 -o -perm -2 -o -perm -1 \)
Of course, if you want to say "any bit except 4", that is doable too, at least with GNU find:
Code:
find $MANDIR -type f -perm /3
Also look at
find2perl -- its documentation is somewhat terse but if you can't quite say what you want with the bare find(1) options, it might be less frustrating to make minor edits to a generated Perl script. Quick Googling brought up
this brief tutorial
