If anybody knows > how, please let me know! It's been a while since I looked at a Solaris box, but IIRC, something like that is there, but disabled. If the "find" command is invoked with no directories (first argument starts with a "-"), it behaves sort of like locate. However, the database that it checks is not built by default; you need to build it, then add a cron entry to rebuild it at regular intervals. Check the find man page for more info. Of course, I could be remembering a completely different Unix variant. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
