find Command

[Trevor]

For the RHCSA-level audience only:

What does the following command do:

$  find   /   -type f   -a \( -perm -u+s -o -perm -g+s \)   -exec ls -l {} \;   2> /dev/null

Simple answer is best!!!

@Trevor Let me give a reverse engineering hint or something that learners can relate this answer to :

"On a Linux system, how can you generate a comprehensive list of all regular files in the filesystem that have the SUID or SGID (set-user-ID or set-group-ID) bit set, along with their detailed file-permission, owner/group and path information - while suppressing error messages such as “permission denied”?"

Reverse engineering - a very nice approach!!!

Thanks Chetan!!!!

Hello @Trevor 

It shows all SUID/SGID files on the system with detailed listing.

Any error messages (like "permission denied") are hidden (2> /dev/null).

You may refer to the below screenshot:
