Slocate?
Okay, I am a relative FreeBSD newbie, my main question is Is there a tool similar to Linux secure locate (slocate) that can be used on FreeBSD. I dont want to do a complicated find with 50 million options to find a file. I downloaded the slocate-2.7 source and I get a weird makefile error I have never seen before. -- Jonathan Keirre Adams PhD Candidate, Computer Information Systems Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences Nova Southeastern University -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

By default the locate database gets updated weekly by the /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate script -- this script builds the database using the 'nobody' UID, so generally files that are not world readable will not be included. If I remember correctly, that's about the same as what slocate does to build it's database of files (and what earns it that 's' title...)
