-executable is, like test -x, an access(2) test. The simple bitmask test, as has already been mentioned upthread, is -perm /0111 I stumble into this from time to time, when I need it and by habit type the deprecated old syntax -perm +mode which, apparently, hasn't been supported for 20 years now. Adding /mode to netbsd find(1) would be nice, I think. (And I just auto-typed that as +mode first, and had to go back and correct it... *sigh*). -uwe
