find directories owned by a given user
Hi,

I want to know if the is a way I can list the directories owned by a given user. Say i am logged in as that user.

I found out the find command lists the files owned by a certain user/group
but i want to know only the directories and if possible the permissions associated with these directories.

Thanks
