Would something like sorting the output of find to a file, while using
'basename' to extract just the filename itself. Then use 'uniq' to
create a second file of unique names. Then do a diff on those two?
Would get a list of duplicate filenames. The first part:
$ find / -name "*" | xargs -n 1 basename | sort > sorted_list
Maybe there is a slicker way.
