find files with SUID bit turned on

I'm writing a script that will search for files with the SUID bit turned on, and put the list in a file called id.txt

i read that files with the SUID bit turned on are chmod'd to 4000, so i tried:

Code:

find / -perm 4000 > id.txt

also various others such as -perm 4777 etc etc
but it found nothing obviously. What am I doing wrong?
