I use package 'slocate' instead of 'locate': /----------- $ aptitude show slocate Package: slocate [snip] Description: Secure replacement of findutil's locate This locate can index all files on your system, but only files and directories which the invoking user has access to will be displayed. Note: If your computer is not up 24/7 you should consider installing anacron since the database is only updated once a night. \----------- Usage is like for locate, ie. I type locate, but it will execute slocate.
