Question OS X 'find' nogroup/nouser doesn't traverse directories?


Code:
flamingo:~ joliver$ sudo find / -nogroup
find: /dev/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /home: No such file or directory
find: /Library: No such file or directory
find: /net: No such file or directory
find: /Network: No such file or directory
find: /private: No such file or directory
find: /sbin: No such file or directory
find: /System: No such file or directory
find: /Users: No such file or directory
find: /usr: No such file or directory
find: /Volumes: No such file or directory
flamingo:~ joliver$ ls -l /
total 30453

Yet it can if I specify a directory:

Code:
flamingo:~ joliver$ sudo find /Library -nogroup
/Library/McAfee/abm

Which version of OS X – for me it’s working fine in 10.6.8 (even with the included find). One note: the find on OS X is not the GNU find, but you could easily compile it on your own.

I'm painfully aware of that ;-) I need to use tools that are available "out of the box", or I'd be grabbing GNU versions of stuff like this as fast as I could :-)
