I did, root# /usr/libexec/locate.unpdatedb root# setenv $LOCATE_PATH /var/db/locate.database I've tried root# locate "filename" with different input but the command gives no feedback or output - it just goes to a new prompt. and of course, # locate .xinitrc or \.initrc or anything else gives no out from the cmd. what am I doing wrong?
