SPACEIO ~ LINUX Command of the Day #3
find: stop guessing where a file is
Where is that file? Stop guessing.
find / -name "*.conf" 2>/dev/null
What it does
find searches the whole system by name. 2>/dev/null hides the "permission denied" noise, so you only see results.
Why it matters
Configuration files hold settings and sometimes secrets, so knowing how to locate them is basic Linux and basic security.
