Hello! I'm running FreeBSD 4.3 and have encountered a mystery of some
missing files. Using "find" and "quota" to find the same files, I get
different results. For example:

############
root@nollie vector1> find  /usr  -user evan  -print | wc -l
    2435

root@nollie vector1> quota evan
Disk quotas for user evan (uid 1075):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit 
 grace
           /usr  561790 1010000 1010000            2537       0       0
############

So "find" is reporting 2435 files, but "quota" is reporting 2537. Where
could the difference be hiding? 

I reviewed the man pages for both "find" and "quota" and couldn't find
any clues to this. If it's not actually a bug with one of these
utilities, then I consider it a bug with their documentation since it's
given unexpected results. 

Thanks,
