That is why a lot of times people should just RTFM.
I never do finds with absolute names unless I know that is EXACTLY what
I am looking for. Use wildcards, they were included for a reason.
find / -name \*cron\* -print
Works just fine here.
(Sidenote: This ranting is mainly because half the problems people have
here is just general unix questions that could be better answered somewhere
else. (Gee, comp.unix.questions comes to mind :-). Those man pages and README
files were put there for a reason people, try using them. )
