But for the past two nights I have gotten this one; and I can't figure out what it's trying to tell me. <cmd> sudo find / -perm 777 </cmd> will show no output other than when I deliberately create a single chmod 777 file, at which point it will show only that one file. This proves that that find is working properly and that there are, as far as I can tell, no chmod 777 files on my system. The only thing worth mentioning about my system is that it's still running 3.8.
sudo chmod 755 /.
