Nope -- that is the locate program updating the list of files on your harddrive. If you don't like this, you can uninstall locate, but I suggest you just start to like it instead. :)
Which reminds me -- why does debian still use the gnu locate, rather than slocate (secure locate) -- it will only show files that the user has the ability to see -- root sees all files, and normal users see all the files they have access to seeing. I suppose, if I like it enough (which I do :) I should just debianize it and maybe after a year or so, suggest it replace gnu locate. :) On Sun, Sep 19, 1999 at 06:48:05AM +0300, tf wrote: > Hey all, > > I'm reading with intrest several threads, and have a bunch of questions > about mailing (like, what exactly is exim or sendmail actually doing...) > > but I have a better question first.
