I'd suggest: find /etc/ -type f |xargs grep $HOSTNAME rather than using cat, you'll get the names of any files containing matches back using this method. Also, it may be worth changing the search base to / as IIRC a search on a potato box turned up some matches elsewhere on the filesystem... hth, Iain
