G'day...
<pedant>
In that circumstance, there's a way to do it with just ls:
spindle:~/tmp polleyj$ ls -lR */somefile somefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 polleyj polleyj 0 Jul 4 21:20 hello/somefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 polleyj polleyj 0 Jul 4 21:20 somefile
it doesn't scale though; for the general case, find is more useful, as
you've said.

Whilst we're being pedantic...
$ find . -type d -name "<somefile>"
Yes, you're right find is very useful... ;)
All the best!
