No. You're just mistaken on how find's syntax works, the order

matters.



You are looking for

find path ! -path '*/.ssh/*' -print0

Summary:  find -print0 breaks -path

Original Submission:  using:

  find path ! -path '*/.ssh/*'

seems to correctly exclude /.ssh/ entries, but using:

  find path -print0 ! -path '*/.ssh/*'

causes -path to become ineffective.
