Please don't top post.
Now, a) you can't have identical filenames in the same directory, so shall I assume that you're looking for all files under one heirarchical directory structure that have the same name? If so,
find $1 -name $2 -ls
would give you all files of the same name. If, instead, you only needed to know how many of each, you could find $1 -name $2 | wc -l
Mark, don't waste your time on this twit - he cross posts to multiple lists, usually asking questions that are quite clearly basic shell or other utility programming questions that look more like school-work than anything else, he never thanks anyone for their answers and he seems to think we are here solely to do his school/home work for him.
I've yet to see a single question from him on any of the lists to which he posts which had anything directly to do with the list topics - here it would be CentOS specific questions. They're all basic, general programming questions that a thorough reading of the applicable man page would answer just fine.
