The daily regeneration of my locate database (the execution
of "updatedb") is occurring at an inopportune time and I'd like to
change it (this system runs 24/7).


On my box (SLED 10)
yast2 -> sysconfig editor -> System -> Cron -> DAILY_TIME

or, in /etc/sysconfig/cron
edit "DAILY_TIME=<desired_time>"
(about 66 lines down)
