Package: findutils
Version: 4.1.20-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

On a vserver, /etc/cron.daily/find issues "su: permission denied" if nice 
priority is 
different from 0:
~# LOCALUSER="nobody" nice -n10 updatedb
su: Permission denied
~#

~# LOCALUSER="nobody" nice -n0 updatedb
~#

As the default value in /etc/updatedb.conf is 10, the db cannot be updated.

I have no idea of the setup of the vserver host, but can try to ask my provider.

Cheers,
Julien
