Hi

I just saw that in all of my Hobbit's directories all datafiles (histlogs, 
rrd files, etc) are doubled. One with capitals and one without:

...
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s068v004
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 15:39 S068V004
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s068v010
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 13:03 S068V010
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s068v011
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 13:03 S068V011
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s068v012
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 13:03 S068V012
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s068v013
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 13:03 S068V013
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  7 11:05 s68tts06
drwxr-xr-x   2 hobbit nobody 1024 Aug  6 13:03 S68TTS06
...

It seems that somebody "cleaned" the bb-hosts file on Aug 7. So how can I 
delete all that capital files. Because there are several hundreds of hosts 
it is difficult to do by hand. If I simply delete all files I loose all 
the history info. It's bad enough that I loose the history before Aug 7, 
but don't know a way to merge the files.

Maybe I should do a find to all files older than Aug 7?

Any ideas?
