problems with locate



hello,

just noticed a thing (i looked into the FAQ but didn't find it) there's a
strange thing about locate, or the updatedb.... it never expires, meaning that
the database is correctly build every day, it even seems to have a reasonable
size (approx 10Mo), but when invocing locate on any file i know of doesn't
produce the hoped result... i have to go superuser and launch updatedb by hand
if i wat ot use locate, so whats going wrong?



ciao
