You can also use Spotlight to perform a search for these system files as well. Open a Finder search window and click on the dropdown menu that by default has 'Kind' selected. From the dropdown select 'other...'. In the search attributes sheet that is displayed search for 'system files' and then select the checkbox under 'In Menu' so that you don't have to go hunting for that particular attribute again to search with. Using these steps I was able to find the example .conf file in the hint above. I also have the 'File Visibility' attribute in the attribute pull-down as well so that I can search for invisible files in Spotlight.

I'm not sure what you mean regarding "looking for content". If I get it right, you wrote that your tool is not much faster than "find" when looking for content too (it might be similiar or slower in speed than "find" ... this is not trivial from that sentence).

Sorry. The prev. post was a reply to tempel's post on Tue, Jan 6 2009 at 8:28AM PST. I opened two reply screens and posted the prev. answer in the wrong textarea.

As for Spotlight's inability to find items that are only root-accessible: I suppose you meant that FAF can do that. That would be quite a thing.

The hint states that it requires an admin password to sudo-to-root to find those system files, so there's not a big security hole in the kernel.

thanks for this. You should submit it as a hint on its own (if it is not in the database already) |
