Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey all, I had an experience with locate on a linux system once, and I noted that for regular users, it displayed world-readable directories, whereas if you ran locate as root, it automatically had a separate database which seemed to index the whole hard drive (including /var/log, etc). Is there any way to get this functionality under FreeBSD? -Dan Mahoney -- "When I'm lost, and confused, and trying to make a U-turn, nothing annoys me more than someone telling me to watch out for the tombstone!"
