Feature #794
Updated by Daniel Curtis over 8 years ago
I recently needed to track down every file owned by a user on a Linux machine. Fortunately the find command already has a parameter to limit matches to a user or group.
This works on Linux, BSD, and OSX.
* Find all files in the root directory owned by the *www-data* user:
<pre>
find / -user www-data
</pre>
* Find all @.php@ files in the *www-data* group in the @/usr/local/www@ directory:
<pre>
find /usr/local/www -group www-data -name "*.php"
</pre>
