Unfortunately, you have to be root to run that.  Unless you, as root,
instruct it to run as 'nobody', it has full access to index every file on
the hard drive, including those with contents not otherwise visible to the
world.

Much better to run the 'periodic' script and let it properly handle setting
the correct user.
