I don't know; the standard locate program doesn't take a -U option, and will give an error message accordingly if called the way you claim you did. Have you installed some other version of locate? To use the standard locate, you use the locate.updatedb(8) script, as the locate(1) manual will tell you. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
