I have moved creating of the locate database to /etc/periodic/daily. For a month or so it worked fine but lately the locate db has been zero bytes. When I look at the daily run output I see: Rebuilding locate database: find: .: Permission denied If I run the script by hand as root it works fine. /etc/crontab has the daily jobs run as root so I don't understand how it could work if run from the shell manually, but not from the daily run. find: .: Permission denied <== Is that saying that it had the permission denied from the current, ".", directory? What would be the "." directory? Neither /usr/sbin/periodic or /etc/periodic/daily/315.locate (the name I renamed it to) seem to change the directory. Any ideas?
