I'm not sure I understand this correctly: You want to find files that are not owned by a user that is listed in /etc/passwd? If that's the case, try this:

Code:
cmd=""
while read uid ; do
    cmd="${cmd} -a -not -user $uid"
done < <( cat /etc/passwd | cut -f3 -d: | sort -n | uniq )
find / -type f $cmd
Greetings,

You have to checkout all files which have no owner or group .
this you call see over the ls -lR command. Then check for position of the owner.
If ther is a number nobody is the owner. the same you can do with the group
you understand
