How to generate nested folder permissions
Hi expert,

I would like to know how to generate file and folder ( including nested subfolder and files) permissions under oracle directory ?

What do you mean by "generate permissions"? All files have permissions; if you want to change them all, you want chmod -R (and/or possibly chown -R if you want to change the owner to the Oracle user).

Hi,
Auditor wants to see the all the files and folders permissions under oracle directory and there're many of them ( sub folders within sub folders ).Do you have any idea to retrieve those permissions ?
Thanks.

If you just want to see permissions as displayed in output of ls -l, you can use this command.

Code:
find ORACLE_DIR -exec ls -l {} \

Provide your oracle root dir name in place of ORACLE_DIR. You may prefer to redirect the output to a file.

Forgot about the option R in ls.

You can also use
Code:
ls -Rl ORACLE_DIR

Code:
find . -ls

Replace . with the path to the Oracle directory.

This is easy to extend if you want to narrow your search to, say, only files which are not owned by the oracle user, or files which are writable by group, or files which are world readable, etc. The find manual page explains (somewhat painfully) how to add more conditions to the command line.
