Hi,

I am running RH7.2. I used to have no problems to invoke "locate" command.
Recently, I get the following message when I invoke "locate" as an
ordinary user (not root):

    locate: this is not a valid slocate database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db

However, root user has no problems to invoke "locate". The following is
slocate information:

    $cd /usr/bin
    $ll
    -rwxr-xr-x   1   root   root   23560   Jun25   2001   slocate

    #cd /var/lib/slocate
    #ll slocate.db
    -rw-r-----  1  root  slocate  1464120  July  2  13:51  slocate.db

How can I make "locate" command to work? Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Shi-Ping Chen
