Locate will not show files that a user has set private (or root
has set private like /usr/local/certs/machineprivatekey.key
It would have likely worked for this - but it's too difficult for
me to attempt to prove a negative (prove a file does not exist) when I'm
using a tool that is written to not show everything.

I generally do this a few times a year:
cd /
find . -print> somename.txt
That puts an entire listing of filenames in a file in
the root dir. Then if I'm looking for something I can
just grep in that file.
Why not just use locate(1) and updatedb(8)?
