But my output goes haywire: find: cannot read dir ./lost+found: Permission denied find: cannot read dir ./c2/lost+found: Permission denied find: cannot read dir ./export/lost+found: Permission denied etc, etc... FOREVER! Is there a way to suppress these error messages? Or have find ignore errors? I tried the man pages and saw the -perm switch, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Is this possible on a unix system? an141226@anon.penet.fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.
