Learn something new every day. Thanks for the info. I just tried GNU find 
and it works like I expect:

find /etc \( -user bin -fprint ~/J \) -o \( -name "*pass*" -fprint ~/J2 \)

This looks like this would be good enough. I'll use that naming instead. 
And give it a try.

My plan is to use this for /etc/security to do three finds in one find.

Thanks again,
