how to do a find without permission denied output

[Hunki]

Is there a way to find files on unix without getting the annoying "find: cannot read dir ./lost+found: Permission denied" outputs ...

Shalom,

Short answer: no.

If you are root you will get relatively few of these messages but you will get some.

If you are a regular user, don't do your finds from / the root of the system. If you limit your search to folders you own, the messages will be less frequent.

Hi Hunki:

A general solution is :

# find / -name hunki 2> /dev/null

...thus eliminating STDERR output.
