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.
Cheers
