Hi all;
I've yet to find an answer to this; its not on a mission
critical system, so if it comes down to it, I can re-install
FreeBSD, but I would prefer to discover the cause, and more
importantly, a fix, in case it does happen on a
mission-critical system someday.
Thanks to all who have posted/replied with suggestions; most
were centered around file permissions and running as root.
I am running as root, and the directories in question do
exist and are read/writable by root.
Ideas??? FreeBSD.org gurus???

Hi all;
last week my 'find' command suddenly went on the fritz;
find / -name <file> -print
used to work fine, searching my whole disk for the file in
question. Now however, it immediately prints out a list of
50-60
lines like the following, yet can't find which I know does
exist.
sean# find / -name httpd -print
*returns*
find: /usr/include/isofs: No such file or directory
find: /usr/include/machine: No such file or directory
find: /usr/include/msdosfs: No such file or directory
find: /usr/include/net: No such file or directory
find: /usr/include/netatalk: No such file or directory
...
-OR-
sean# find . -name httpd -print
*returns*
find: ./usr/include/isofs: No such file or directory
find: ./usr/include/machine: No such file or directory
find: ./usr/include/msdosfs: No such file or directory
find: ./usr/include/net: No such file or directory
find: ./usr/include/netatalk: No such file or directory
....
The directories, such as "/usr/include/isofs" do infact
exist.
Any ideas as to what's wrong, or what changed; these
commands
worked in the past. I even ftp'd a new 'find' command from
a
working server, but get the same results.
TIA
