I agree. Not only that, but on a related note, "locate" should
not place non-world-readable files in its database. If I remove
read/execute permission from a directory, I don't want someone
to be able to scan it by simply doing a "locate <username>".
`updatedb' runs as "nobody", so it should only include information
about world-readable directories and files in its database already.
