Hi all,
I've got my SS20 netbooting from my antiquated FreeBSD box..
everything is fine and dandy with the exception of the locate
command. Run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and the command fails a
few seconds later with no explanation ("locate: updatedb failed").
I've searched the list archives and haven't found any previous
questions that even come close to the problem--am I missing something
dead obvious to others?
I'm still very much a BSD newbie so I've only done the most basic of
sanity checks: /var/tmp is accounted for and I am running
locate.updatedb as root.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Derek
