The capabilities of Sun and GNU find differ.  Which are you using?

Basically, with Sun find, you're going to want something like this:

find / -user USERNAME -ls
find / -group GNAME -ls

With GNU find, you can use this syntax, but also have the option of:

find / -uid nnn -ls
find / -gid nnn -ls


If in doubt, 'man find' is your friend.
