     Greetings All,
     
     I'm running DUNIX V4.0a.
     
     I need to find all email spool files in /var/spool/mail which have not
     been read-accessed in 50 days or more.
     
     I've been trying to use variations of: # find . -atime +50 (and even
     lesser amounts like +25). I don't get the results I expect however.
     
     I see files out there like:
     
     # ls -l
     -rw------- 1 wor10006 mail 10926 Sep 9 1997 wor10006
     
     Yet they (this one in particular) don't show up as a result of the
     above find command. Where am I going wrong - am I using the right
     command?
