One way to get group & other write permissions, assuming you want just regular files:

Code:
find /path/to/files -type f \( -perm -20 -o -perm -02 \)  -print

you specify the bit you want, 2, and then the position in -perm -value. The minus tells find to and the permsision bit you specify with the permission bits of the file.

ACL_GET_PERM(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   ACL_GET_PERM(3)

NAME
acl_get_perm -- test for a permission in an ACL permission set LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <acl/libacl.h> int acl_get_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm); DESCRIPTION
The acl_get_perm() function tests if the permission specified by the argument perm is contained in the ACL permission set pointed to by the argument permset_d. Any existing descriptors that refer to permset_d continue to refer to that permission set. RETURN VALUE
If successful, the acl_get_perm() function returns 1 if the permission specified by perm is contained in the ACL permission set permset_d, and 0 if the permission is not contained in the permission set. Otherwise, the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_perm() function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EINVAL] The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a permission set within an ACL entry. The argument perm is not a valid acl_perm_t value. STANDARDS
This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e", aban- doned). SEE ALSO
acl_add_perm(3), acl_clear_perms(3), acl_delete_perm(3), acl_get_permset(3), acl_set_permset(3), acl(5) AUTHOR
