specifically its /etc/cron.daily/find which rebuilds the locatedb.
updatedb is a shellscript and uses nobody to switch to the configured
uid. (so protected directories are not listed in the locatedb).
i think it should use start-stop-daemon --chuid instead so there is
no log entry like this and we don't get these messages on the list
every 2 days.
