I understand. Why is it no longer installed by default? Is it replaced by something else? If I need to search for a command, how can I do it? Best regards, Sourian

Q1 + Q2: Ask SuSE. Q3: Install the needed packages or try find / -name command_you_need (please don't tell me that find is not installed by default ;) Anyway, this is not security related ;-) GTi P.S.: If you send mail to the list, do _not_ set reply-to.

Q1: SuSE was getting lots of inquiries from rank newbies wondering why their hard disks started chattering every morning at ~1AM (updatedb cron job). Q2: I know of no replacement. If you know enough to use it, simply install the rpm. Q3: ARCHIVES.gz on the first CD lists every file in every rpm. grep thru it to answer any 'WHich rpm do I install to get foo?' questions. `which` will search your current path for a specific executable. `locate' will search the locate db for any file. (check the config - some branches of the filesystem may be skipped by updatedb). -- Rick Green "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
The package your after is called: findutils-locate Try this: yast2 -i findutils-locate And i'd say one of the reasons it got removed is because its a great tool for attackers to find out about a system once its compromised (but im only guessing).
