what I've read, it also keeps track of file permissions/owners so users
can't locate just any old file. I had a simple mod back like a year ago
in Linux Gazette, just doing an open() call to see if a user's supposed
to be able to read it. This took care of both files they shouldn't be
seeing, and ones that did not exist anymore. Anyway, run slocate.cron
and then the database should be updated and you should be able to then
do locates.> Steven Pritchard wrote:
