That´s probably updatedb running updating your locatedb :) It is called via /etc/cron.daily/find [1]. If your filesystem-entries don´t change that much, you could move this file to /etc/cron.weekly or something like that. Removing it would require you to manually run updatedb prior to locate if you nedd accurate results... hth, &rw 1: On my halfway potato system. -- / Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \ KPNQwest/AT tech staff | Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
