Graham, I found a small utility on another list some time ago and it seems to do a pretty good job. It's a comman line thingie about 8 lines long. It'll do recursive checking and then list all the dups by groups so you can delete the ones you dont want. I found it useful to clean some crap off my drives.
It's only about 300 bytes small. If you want, I'lll send it to you as an attachment.
If it is an script, put it here, and we can all coment on it.
Well it looks like a utility called fslint works on SuSE 9.2 and does a good job of finding duplicates as well as other problems in an acceptable amount of time. I installed the rpm package.

Richard, thank you for the for sending the file, but fslint is a much better utility for my needs as it picks up renamed files.
