Regarding coparing file attributes in different directories.,
 

Hi Anybody,


I have one scenario to be tackled out.

I have some files in this directory /www/aff/cgi-bin/ and this directory
/www/cgi-bin/ and file contents are exactly same and I could get if any mismatch using diff command,but I wanted to know is there any file permission change ,groups are change etc (basically file attributes I have to compare),How I can do this? any help greatly apprciated.


Thanks,
