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??? The original message follows: ============================= [running FreeBSD 2.2.6] Hi all; last week my 'find' command suddenly went on the fritz; find / -name -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.
