Can someone explain this?



[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/spam-hold/spam-hold$ find /spam -name smtpdAB* -print %p
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]

find /spam -name 'smtpdAB*' -print

The shell is expanding the * before calling find. * means all files in the current directory so you can figure that find is mighty confused.
