I have some find aliases for csh/tcsh that you may find useful. If you
don't use csh/tcsh, just substitute "\!*" with the actual filename
pattern. Do remember that you can use regular expressions with find by
slight changes of the alias. I actually have several others I use, which
search for invalid uid or gid, as well as suid and sgid versions (useful
for security checks).
