I edited the /etc/locate.rc file and uncommented the two
statements you pointed out.
Rebuilt locate DB using sh /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate
It still did not pick up the non public files such as
/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache-fp/_vti_bin/fpexe,
locate finds fpexe.c but not fpexe.
If the locate does not load all files on the FBSD slice into
the locate database is there some other command which will
tell me where all copies of a file are located?

In /etc/locate.rc:
SEARCHPATHS="/"
PRUNEPATHS=""
Note this will make private files in home directories
seeable in locate output by any user.
