i hadn't thought of that. very sneaky.
sadly, there are spaces and apostrophe's (windo~1 files, of
course) -- and there's a possibility that the resulting list
from the `find` command might overflow the command buffer as
well, so the first suggestion is the winner, assuming i can get
it to work.
thanks!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #98 from Joost Kooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Curious about your NETWORK TRAFFIC? There's iptraf, showtraf,
netwatch, tcpview, statnet... and tcpdump, which uses its own
filters from the specification you give it on the command line:
tcpdump host foo
tcpdump not port ssh
tcpdump port 53
tcpdump arp
Try "man tcpdump" for more info.
