(Answer) (Category) NetMAXFAQ : (Category) Console / X Server :
Why does "locate" no longer work from the command line?
Applies to: NetMAX 3.x - 4.0x
address-suppressed
Locate has been replaced with slocate (Secure Locate) which provides control over who can use the locate database.

To allow users access to the locate database, create a User Group called "slocate" and add users to this group. If the user is already logged in to console they will need to log off then back on for the changes to take effect.

In NetMAX 4.0x, locate is aliased to slocate. Typing either command will result in Secure Locate being run.
