Public bug reported:
I was surprised to see that using /usr/bin/locate I got results from a
partition that is only readable by my user and actually is an encrypted
partition (openLuks).
I was under the impression that the updateDb application would run as
'nobody' which means it would not read my homedir if I would make it
read only for my user. Which is what I did with my homedir as well as
the /mnt/private partition. (its got a chmod 700 1000.1000)
I mention the encryption here since I consider it a security
vulnerability that a full index of an encrypted partition is stored on
an unencrypted partition.
