I think I might have been misinterpreting what I saw originally. I'm not sure it was recursing _into_ .ssh when I used -maxdepth, but it was still complaining about permissions _on_ .ssh/. I just wanted it to _ignore_ .ssh altogether. It is very likely that it was just complaining about the .ssh directory itself. Regardless, it still caused problems for me, and Otto's suggestion worked great. > @Benny: > I hope you didn't put the `-maxdepth 1' *after* the `-exec rm {} \;'. Heh. Nope. :) Thanks, all.
