Updatedb with Cron Daemon



Hello,

this is my /etc/updatedb.conf :

# This file sets environment variables which are used by updatedb

# filesystems which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEFS="afs proc"
export PRUNEFS
# paths which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /m /home/e2od5/[NOQ]"
export PRUNEPATHS
# netpaths which are added
NETPATHS=""
export NETPATHS

This should mean that no files above /m would included when running
updatedb, shouldn't it? Especially not /m/ra which is one directory
in /m (all directories in /m are mounted filesystems, /m/ra is one
of some NFS filesystems).

Nevertheless root recives the following mail every day (because updatedb
is called inside cron.daily):

te: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 07:00:14 +0200 (CEST)
From: Cron Daemon <root@bridge.physik.uni-halle.de>
To: root@bridge.physik.uni-halle.de
Subject: Cron <root@bridge> run-parts /etc/cron.daily

find: /m/ra: Permission denied

What's the matter here? Including /m/ra explicitely in PRUNEPATH does
help nothing. 

Any recommendations?

Have a nice weekend everybody

   Andreas.
