The below is the solution from your link Mommy, I found it! — 15 Practical Linux Find Command Examples (link removed)

Quote:
For this example, let us assume that the directory contains the following files. Please note that the file-permissions on these files are different.
Code:
# ls -l
total 0
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:31 all_for_all
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:30 everybody_read
---------- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:31 no_for_all
-rw------- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:29 ordinary_file
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 others_can_also_read
----r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 others_can_only_read

Find files which has read permission to group. Use the following command to find all files that are readable by the world in your home directory, irrespective of other permissions for that file.

Code:
# find . -perm -g=r -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:30 ./everybody_read
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:31 ./all_for_all
----r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 ./others_can_only_read
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 ./others_can_also_read

Find files which has read permission only to group.
Code:
# find . -perm g=r -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
----r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 ./others_can_only_read

Find files which has read permission only to group [ search by octal ]
Code:
# find . -perm 040 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
----r----- 1 root root 0 2009-02-19 20:27 ./others_can_only_read

Dr. Matrix, thanks for that link. It has a lot of really good examples. Have 1000 bits.

Reference the earlier posts. The hyphen prefix to the -perm parameter causes find to search on a mask rather than exact permissions.
To find files writeable by "others":
Code:
find . -type f -perm -000002 -print

The leading zeros can be omitted from this syntax.
This gives the same effect:
Code:
find . -type f -perm -2 -print

you can do this by awk also

Code:
ls -lrt |awk '{x=substr($1,9,1)}{if(x=="w"){print $0}}'
