[SunHELP] find command

[Simon Jespersen]

Hi list! yet antoher question
Usually im ok with the find command, but this ones i cant figure out.

I want to find all directories in a file structure that has been created
more the 3 days ago, and then remove it. But i doesnt seems to work when i
try

find . -type d -atime -3

If i do a ls -l on the filesystem they are all older than 3 days.
