Re: plocate updatedb failing to index files in $HOME ? (bug or idiot error?)

All,

I don't have to search for squirreled away files too often, but when I do, I rely on plocate (mlocate successor). However, tonight I was surprised it had not indexed by Readme-doxygen.txt and I can't figure out why.

Does it find any files in your home directory? What is the permission of your home directory (or the parent directories of the file)? As what user is plocate running (/etc/sysconfig/locate)?
