Hi It picks up directories too. It will be slow without the find. Just find all the files without 777. If it doesn't find any, it won't do anything: find / -type f ! -perm 777 For symlinks everyone here will tell you not to use smb.conf: follow symlinks = Yes wide links = Yes sockets and pipes, don't know.
