I think it's the -os outside the parentheses that are causing your problem. You want the default -and. To translate into English: starting at root, find files in either /foo or /foo2, without descending into directories, and owned by user1. -prune always returns true, so it -ands nicely. Since you are pruning, I would try it like so: find /foo /foo2 -prune -user "user1" I think those are equivalent, but would test it to see. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
