Hi Drew, This should find all files created or modified on 25th October: find / -mtime 6 -ls -o -ctime 6 -ls (As today is 31st October which is 6 days after 25th. You may need to widen your search a little with a seperate search with 7 as the paramter as 6 may not catch files that were created over 6 * 24 hours ago (but were still on the 25th); not sure about that).
