for bash set the option "globstar":
    $ shopt -s globstar
    $ ls -l **/*

see also:
    $ man bash
    /Pattern Matching

hmm.. not sure whether bash has any
globbing qualifiers like zsh, though.

not quite sure what your goal was.
but it was about removing the world-writable
permisison for all file under "/selinux"?

  zsh> chmod o-w $(ls /selinux/**/*(.W))

yes, the expanded list might be too long.
so using "find" for that is quite okay.

but why would you use "sed" here?
please describe your goal, too!

ps: please delete any unneccesarily
