+**Exception**
+
+Searching for world-writable files on a host deployed with openstack-ansible
+can be very time consuming and it can create unneccessary I/O load on hosts.
+Deployers are urged to check for world-writable files on a regular basis in
+directories where those files might be a concern (especially web accessible
+directories).
+
+The command provided with the STIG is helpful for finding these types of files:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    find ${MOUNT_POINT} -xdev -type f -perm -002
+
+Running ``find /`` isn't recommended on systems without LVM storage for
+containers since it will eventually search through the filesystems of the LXC
+containers that are deployed by openstack-ansible. The ``-xdev`` option
+prevents ``find`` from wandering into other mounted filesystems and will
+prevent it from searching through containers in logical volumes.
