On my system, updatedb lets you set a flag to permit that
(the "--require-visibility no" option.)


No such option on FreeBSD. Of course, you can run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb as root user and get this effect. (with a warning message issued by the script, the script author put a check in
there for that trick)

chmod 400 on /find-listing.txt is probably safer, though!
