locate uses a database it rebuilds, usually from a cron job. You can find the
script called by the cron job and add to the directories that are excluded from
the database when it's built. Cannot remember where this is in SuSE, but
Caldera keeps it in /etc/cron.d/lib/, called 'updatedb' or something like that.
