Yes, I have often searched the filebucket for a path of interest. In theory, the checksum I need is available from a report, but in practice the report may not be readily available. Questions like "find all the saved versions of this file" are much more easily answered by searching the actual content of the filebucket than by searching all old logs back to the beginning of time. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
