Um, that would simply be the "locate" command would it? For instance, locate libcrypto (which goes on and on on one of my production boxes) If your machine has been running for over a week, it would have rebuilt the locate database for you already. But if you've been messing with the box, you can manually rebuild the locate database with: /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb Hope that helps. -gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
