I did what you asked me to do and it seems that the problem is not in

when I open them I only get a few bytes of data. The strange thing is
that they are all in /sys. Some in /sys/module, some in /sys/kernel
and
some in /sys/hypervisor.
Have you encountered anything like this before? Are these special
files
that should not be scanned? If so, what directories should I exclude?
I was guessing that was going to be the case when I saw your mail.
Yes, exclude: /dev /proc and /sys
OK. Sorry for the confusion.
Shouldn't this be in the FAQ (or was I just too blind to find it?)?
I'd hate to think that I am the only one making this mistake.
Best regards,
