help with slocate
 

hey there,

i am curious, is there a way to use slocate to find suid and sgid files and groups? Also, does anyone know of a list of suid files and sgid groups that should be changed?

Thanks,

I believe that the slocate.db file only keeps the filenames in it, not the attributes, so I don't believe you can find that info with the slocate command.

Find suid files:

Find guid files:

That should tell you what you want to know. Takes a little while, though.

Don't forget the -print switch or you won't get output ;)

DOH!!! I'll edit that.

Why does everyone alwways say you need the -print switch? Mine gives the same output with or without the -print

Huh?!?! Not to hijack the thread, but you are right.

I would like to know your find version as mine refuse to display standart output without the -print switch, the standart error is displayed (permission denied)

[edit]
Ok, get it, with the -type switch -print is not needed

Excerpt from find manpage:

I don't use any of the other expressions, so I guess that's why I never need it
