Thanks for checking it out!   What is wrong w/it?

FWIW, I just installed the mlocate rpm and built it.
I'm running it's updatedb now, to see how it fairs (mlocate
is the one SuSE used to replace locate.

If it works, it isn't hard to drop-in
replace for locate, though
updatedb has some different invocation options.

A 'feature' (or deficit) of mlocate is that
it checks if you have access to the file before
listing the name of the file via locate.

For small numbers of finds (like "/passwd",
it was faster than 'locate', but for large numbers
of files "/", it was slower because of the access checks.
