"grep" not working

[Dirk Moolman]

This is something I haven't seen before.  One of my developers, uses
grep to assist in client queries (to find files and info in unload
files).

When she does a grep on certain strings, she can't find anything, but
when I do the same grep, logged in as root, I find data.

What would cause this ?    I will have to compare her login with root's
login, but I would appreciate some suggestions / tips from the guru's.


Regards
Dirk
