As I remember is find a little script. I'm not sure, but it just works
with the options -print -name -user.

I think the "crap" you get holds a "7" in each line. So -atime is
"converted" to -name.

OK, by careful in using -Xtime, unix knows
-ctime modification time of the inode
-atime access time (read/write)
-mtime modification time (write only)

Your "find / -atime 7" means file that are exactly accesses before 7
days !!

use -7 for within the last seven days.
use +7 for older than seven days.
but you need a real find for this, not just the script.
