The guts of this script is:
   echo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb | nice -5 su -fm nobody || rc=3
which means that "nobody" must be in the "wheel" group if my
understanding
is correct.

This would seem to be the source of the permission denied errors I
noticed in the 
weekly report, but perhaps it is something else.

Help in fixing this would be appreciated.
