I want to use find to locate files that don't belong to a certain user but
should belong to that user. But there are subdirectories I want to exclude.
I have tried using this, but it doesn't work:
find /path/to/dir -type d ! -uid num \( -type d ! -name dirname -prune \)
If I leave off the part in parentheses, it finds all the files I'm looking
for but also files in the subdirs I'm not interested in.
If I add the parentheses, it doesn't find any files at all.
This is FreeBSD 8.3 RELEASE.
So how can I find these files without descending into directories I'm not
interested in?
