Hi,
I just found out something strange. Try it out for yourselves. Here
goes. Search for any directories under /boot:
# find /boot/ -type d
/boot/
/boot/grub
/boot/lost+found
So far so good. Now execute a detailed listing on the results:
# find /boot/ -type d -exec ls -l \{} \;

Why does 'find' suddenly list everything... and not just the directories?
I'm puzzled.
