just for the record, the command

$ grep -rsl achilles /etc

will do the same, but a huge lot more efficient (being just 1 process
instead of 1 for every file in /etc)
-r is of course recursive
-s surpresses error messages (lilo.conf for example is not be readable by
normal users)
-l outputs the filename instead of the matched lines
man grep for more neat stuff ;-)
