Hi there,
the locate database is [re]built by the weekly periodic(8) script,
which runs on Saturdays at 4:15AM. If you don't leave your box on
24x7, it'll never get run (freebsd doesn't have anything like
anachron in linux). you can run the script by hand by typing
# periodic weekly
(as root). You can change the time periodic scripts run at in
/etc/crontab. See crontab(1), crontab(5).
