As soon as I read this, I had my "D'oh!" moment.
Of course, the "sudo find" only generates the list of files to check.
So not a bug. A permissions error.

Anybody know of a way to give Xymon elevated access permissions when it stats
files it's checking?
I would prefer not to change the directory permissions if I can avoid it.
Hi Vernon

You have just hit on a similar issue I posted recently:

"MSGS"
