Locate is reputed to be insecure. I use slocate, and got that from an old RedHat distro. You should be able to get slocate from rpmfind. Unlike locate, slocate accepts a regular expression as an arguement. On my 8.0 Pro distro locate is on CD1 group a2 findutils-locate. I have made a complete listing of every package with a list of the the files therein for all 7 CDs of the 8.0 Pro distro. I find it a great convenience. Unfortunately it is 56 MB ( yes 56 000 KB ) long, so I cannot easily distribute it. However it is easy to generate from a simple shell script and rpm.
